WINNER OF THE SILK LAUNDRY
ART PRIZE 2023: PATRICK NELSON
ART PRIZE 2023: PATRICK NELSON
We congratulate Patrick Nelson for winning the Silk Laundry Art Prize 2023 with his endearing photo of a Vine Hawk Moth caterpillar he found in his backyard.
“One cool thing about the vine hawkmoth caterpillar is its big fake eyes. What we see is a surface pattern that resembles two big eyes. It is thought that this forms part of its defence mechanism. When it senses danger, it shows off its ‘big eyes’ to inflate its size and presumably frighten off any would-be predator.”

SECOND PLACE WINNER: RACHEL KNEUBUHLE
"Green ants are such productive little critters and I love finding them working as a team to achieve what looks like an almost impossible task."
THIRD PLACE WINNER: KADEN POOL

AWARD 2023: VINH NGUYEN
AWARD 2023: VINH NGUYEN
We extend another congratulations to Vinh Nguyen, the People’s Choice Prize winner. Through using vibrant colours he dreamily captured a white flower crab spider hiding in a rose, waiting for its breakfast to arrive.
