Butterflies are Free
Bronze,
Lead Crystal Glass
Edition 1/7 Life Size
The first in my new series to celebrate the Nature Spirits.
Walking through a wooded glen I scarred up a flurry of Butterflies. They rose as one, a maiden appeared transformed by their being.
My use of materials reflects the transient nature of humanity portrayed in crystal, we require true substance. Nature on the other hand is substantial and more resilient as is bronze, it is an anchor and in myth eternal.
Though nature will survive without humanity we would not survive without its fantastic Bio-Diversity. Our problem stems from a loss of connection.
I prefer to label this style as Fantastique. I love the simplicity that is provided by the grace of innocent beauty.
