I will install as many paper butterflies as possible in the space I am given. They will be fitted close together. Some of the butterflies will be gilded. We have all been transformed by covid and this exhibition is to reflect that transformation.
Artist Statement
Transformation is the deep time of things when life hangs like a question mark, fragile and always changing. A single moment in time can determine a life, but it can also take years and decades to form a life. Transformation is a process within human existence. This process allows us to live in the continuous present as we know we will not be the same person tomorrow that we were today. The arithmetic of life can be looked at as continuous subtraction or as continuous transformation. When we die, there is a universe inside our head that evolved and changed as we experienced life. When parts of our life run thin like the transparent chrysalis of a butterfly there is room for transformation, change, growth and movement.
