The canvas is divided in two by the geographical path taken by Johnson from London to Darwin. The line creates two equal divisions, intense fuschia to denote women’s equality and liberation that Amy was a beacon for, and bright blue to signify the freedom of the skies. The colours are solid & bold to create an eye-catching structure with a simple design that can easily be understood and appreciated, as it communicates well from a distance when the moth is in situ. The white elements of the moth are coated in a phosphorescent paint and give a continuous glow at night so that the flight path and eyes can always be seen.
