Hirnseide der Mondsucht

German to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting exhibition title
Title of an exhibition of drawings and paintings created by an artist during nights (apparently he can't find any sleep). It's for a "culture and event calendar", so the title will remain in German, followed by a translation in brackets so as to give potential visitors a hint about what they are going to see.

3 +3 silken reflections of moonlight longings
4 +2 A silken thread through moonlit mazes
3 +2 s.u.
4 +1 Silk Spun by Moonlight
3 +1 Weavings of a moon worshiper
