Artwork description:

This is an artwork made from 4 linocut prints of butterflies or should I say Lepidoptera. This print though is featuring the prints delicately cut out and mounted individually slightly raised from the surface, each with wings raised a little to somewhat mimic the 3 dimensional nature of actual butterflies.

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. As much as I loved looking at them, they made me a little sad too. These are my version of a lepidopterists collection. Each are fragile and beautiful but cruelty free.

The frame measures 28.5 cm x 28.5 cm x 3 cm
Each butterfly is hand printed and hand cutout.

READY TO HANG: This artwork can be either hung on a wall or can stand independently on a surface.
