Artwork description:

This is an multi print artwork made from 3 collagraph prints, one is the background of the piece with white ink onto black artist paper, two onto brown paper luggage tags and two linocut prints of a butterflies one onto brown paper painted with gold acrylic paint and the butterfly printed in black ink to define the butterfly details. The other butterfly is also printed in black ink but onto smooth watercolour paper. These prints are arranged into a collage, layered up to create a 3 dimensional artwork. The butterflies are mounted with their wings slightly raised mimicking nature. These are all printed from handmade printing blocks and hand printed, this is a unique artwork.

I have always loved butterflies and remember being fascinated by the collections of them which featured in the old musty museums in the school trips of my childhood. Those old framed up examples of Victorian collectors passions, each beautiful and so fragile. The butterfly is so much a symbol of beauty and the tenuous nature of life.

Solid Wood Box frame with mount in White.
The frame measures 28.5 cm x 28.5 cm x 3 cm
