WINNER OF THE SILK LAUNDRY
ART PRIZE 2023: PATRICK NELSON
We congratulate Patrick Nelson for winning the Silk Laundry Art Prize 2023 with his endearing photo of a Vine Hawk Moth caterpillar he found in his backyard. 

 “One cool thing about the vine hawkmoth caterpillar is its big fake eyes. What we see is a surface pattern that resembles two big eyes. It is thought that this forms part of its defence mechanism. When it senses danger, it shows off its ‘big eyes’ to inflate its size and presumably frighten off any would-be predator.”

"Green ants are such productive little critters and I love finding them working as a team to achieve what looks like an almost impossible task."

In a captivating exploration of nature's microcosm, "Symphony of Self-Adoration" presents a double exposed film image that transcends conventional perspectives, inviting viewers into an intimate rendezvous with the enchanting world of insects. This entrancing photograph captures the delicate moment of a ladybug engaged in a gentle and surreal kiss with its mirrored self, unravelling the captivating narrative of self-love and the intricacies of nature's laboratory.
