Matthew Harding is an extremely successful and talented artist. Whether you're into Public Art or BIG Things his name will appear in searches and plaques as you travel and explore Australia.
Coined as the BIG Moths by BIG Thing Enthusiasts Mathews Harding's 'Bogong Moth' sculpture was created in 2001 and is one of six sculpture and one of many Canberra tributes to celebrate the moths annual migration through the region.
I was intrigued by the event and while I haven't yet had the pleasure of witnessing the event I've read as they fly over the city at night the light pollution tricks the moths into thinking dawn is coming. As the moths descend seeking shelter they cause a bit of havoc in their pursuit to hide ending up in vents, cars and setting off store alarms
