Cluster is a composition of Chrysozephyrus butterflies with a surrounding outline of Bath Whites in a solid radial shape. Whilst providing impact through a thick mass of colour the lines have been blurred to create a more organic positioning of butterflies – free of hard lines. The butterflies are caught in motion, fluttering amongst each other in frenetic activity – creating depth, shadow and contrast through their sheer number.
Equally, there is a playfulness of light from the richness of texture and tone, demonstrating a scene evoking life, energy and vitality.
Both Monarch and Bath White butterflies have been printed on 300gsm Sirio Pearl Oyster mounted on 160gsm Fabriano Tiziano White Pastel paper.
