Rehm's “House Moth” series responds to the following texts, reading being a kind of bibliomancy:
Johanna Hedva’s “The Erinyes,”
John Ruskin’s The Ethics of the Dust: “You must either be house-Wives or house-Moths; remember that. In the deep sense, you must either weave men's fortunes, and embroider them; or feed upon and bring them to decay,”
Sawako Nakayasu’s “Beard of Death”: “A moth slams into the window as to touch the outside world, like the backside of an embroidery,”
and Virginia Woolf’s “Death of a Moth.”
