Titled You're light, your light this work portrays a moth, a lamp bulb, and a spider web in a composition rich with symbolism. Painted using acrylic, oil, oil pastel and glitter on canvas, the piece invites viewers into an arrangement of natural elements, where the fantastical blends with tangible and ordinary settings. Webb provides a glimpse into the natural realm, offering a window through which observers can contemplate the captivating essence of nature's everyday wonders and its relationship with the artificial and the human environment.
The ethereal hues of the moth's wings infuse the scene with a surreal and otherworldly quality, enhancing the imaginative storytelling in the piece. Webb views each individual artwork as a frame in an ongoing cinematic sequence, where patterns emerge as objects, colours, and shapes interact to convey a narrative where fantastical or imagined elements intersect with real-world contexts, sparking a contemplation of the ordinary facets of nature and revealing the profound wonder concealed within its mundane occurrences.
