Butterflies are predominantly a symbol of transformation due to their amazing process of metamorphosis. To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color, whereas in Chinese culture, the butterfly represents love, specifically young love. This 3D collage was certainly created with love - each component carefully and attentively designed using authentic Japanese chiyogami paper. Each butterfly is then raised at differing heights giving the illusion of flight and movement. The golden antennae are made using fine wire. The artwork is done on Canford acid free paper and framed in a delicate lime washed and waxed tulip wood box frame and signed in the bottom right hand corner

I am an artist specialising in hand cut and painted paper artworks. Drawing inspiration from nature, colour and form, I cut and draw each component by hand, creating joyful artworks that are individual, imaginative and full of movement. My precision and attention to the detail of each component guarantees that every work is unique. I love working with paper as it allows me to be absolutely precise with my incisions, and as my intent is to create movement not only in the subject matter but also within the medium, paper lends itself wonderfully to manipulation so that the birds or the butterflies literally take flight. I use predominantly Japanese chiyogami papers for their vibrant colours and luminescence, as well as Italian fine papers to reflect my heritage.
