NO BUTTERFLIES WERE ABUSED...
(in the making of this artwork)

Original mixed media assemblage issued 2000

Image size 11" x 14"
(low resolution image illustrated)

This is was a work created for an invitational exhibition at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre titled "Ode to Jack" (Shadbolt). The theme of the show was Shadbolt's butterfly series. I was just beginning to play with cut gemstones at the time, and evolved a process of photographing them, then drawing and painting on the photographic prints. A few other ideas coalesced along the way, resulting in this work.

Materials are liquid acrylic ink, self hardening clay, glass, hand drawn and painted photographic prints, pen and ink, six cubic zirconias, brass pins, dried rose and tulip petals, matteboard, and foamcore.
