I love the framed specimens. If I am ever in a big city and make it to the museum you will find me going through everyone of the specimen drawers. Exited to see the next collection with each pull of the handle. So much variety and zero chance of being crawled on!
That is where the seed for this project was planted. Though I didn’t know it yet all the photos I took of butterflies, beetles and moths became the reference material for my butterfly pieces this year.
Deconstructing and reconstructing the symmetry of these marvels of nature was at first like going cross eyed but became a sort of meditative practice.
