Luna Moth Spaceship

Artist – Helen Schell

Design Description

The Luna Moth Spaceship reflects contemporary spaceflight and celebrates the woman aeronautical pioneers of the 21st century. This is about future aspirations and women astronauts of a new space-age, asking the question who will be the new Amy Johnson of our era? By using optical illusions and bold colours it will create a spaceship, transforming the ‘moth’ surface into a moving series of patterns which deceive the eye and visual perception.
