Wings and the woman – The Golden Age of Aviation

Artist – Helen Dodds

Design Description

My moth uses real gold alluding to the Golden Age of aviation. The design incorporates the sun and clouds inspired by art deco, and also tracks Amy’s flight path. The migratory swallows are symbolic of the freedom of the skies we enjoy today.

Artist Statement

I am a painter. I love little birds and art that makes me smile. I enjoy working in a variety of media, but am particularly fond of egg tempera and gold. I studied Fine Art at the Norwich School of Art, and am currently exhibiting at Bilsandrye Gallery, Nunnington.
