ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This summer, I watched hungry caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies. It was an incredible process and I had a perfect close-up viewing on a fennel plant in my yard. I watched as tiny brown flecks became large green striped caterpillars that paused and compressed their large bodies into a chrysalis then emerged after several days into a gorgeous butterfly. Nature as its best and in honor of this experience I made a Giant Butterfly. This piece is created by making a wire form and then filling in the spaces with my reformatted photography. I take images and create patterns from them and then hand-stitch them to the wire with threads hanging freely. Wouldn't you like a butterfly on your wall?
