Sarah Gillespie’s interest in moths and the 

luminous power of the mezzotint engraving to 

express their beauty and vulnerability is 

further explored in new works for ‘Underwings’. 

The titles themselves read like poetry: 

Peach Blossom; Advancing Tiger; Wounded Tiger; Nut-tree Tussock; A Thousand Goodbyes.

Her concerns as ever are entwined with the threat to natural habitats. In particular the watery world of Slapton Ley, near her home in Devon, where the sea threatens to encroach on a unique freshwater ecosystem.
