SARAH GILLESPIE – ENTOGRAPHICA
Insect-inspired Art from The Entographic Collective
2 – 25 February 2026 | Mon–Sat 10am–4pm | Admission Free
Bath Royal Scientific & Literary Institute, Bath BA1 2HN
SARAH GILLESPIESarah Gillespie was drawn to moths because they are “overlooked and under-loved”. They are in catastrophic decline – 50-60 species have become extinct in the past 80 years and their plight has become an obsession. The triumph of moths is in their diversity, beauty and importance as pollinators. The triumph of Gillespie is to draw us close to her subjects, absorbing us in the unloved. Where the global awareness of climatic extremes shouts out as today’s news, Gillespie whispers to us to pay attention to signifiers in fragile environments nearby.
ENTOGRAPHICAEntographica features the work of sixteen artists with a passion for insects and includes prints by Sarah Gillespie. Art that explores a world of intricate and complex beauty, inspiring a fresh rapport with the smaller champions of the natural world and a deeper understanding of the vital role they play in maintaining our planet.
