Detail One of Interwoven Relationships Between Phlox and Pollinators, 'Hummingbird Moth and Other Insects Pollinating Phlox'; 2018; colored pencils, graphite pencils and pastels. This is the upper left corner close-up of 'Interwoven Relationships Between Phlox and Pollinators’. The squares depict visitors of a bumblebee, yellow Swallowtail butterfly, Hummingbird moth, Skipper and crab spider. The drawing gradually fades toward the edges with less and less color eventually evolving into outline renderings of insects. The implication is the depicted fading insects are flying away to find other existing supplies of food as one or two plants will not contain enough for them.
