DESCRIPTION

The basic frame of the butterfly is created using tin, which is powder-coated with a black finish and makes this piece safe to use outdoors. The edges of the frame are reinforced using thicker tin wire. The front of this piece is adorned in areas with capiz shell, an oyster native to the Philippines, before being hand-painted and sealed with a water-based sealant. The primary purpose of this oyster to provide a source of food, however, the shell is a sustainable by-product that can be used for decoration. The capiz shell subtly replicates the reflective qualities of butterflies in nature. The entire piece is lightweight and has an eyelet in the back allowing it to be hung using a finishing nail, command strip, or a push pin.

Due to it being a natural material, the organic colors of capiz come through as tans and browns underneath the paint. Elegant and warm, the metallic golds, oranges, and reds, invite feelings of autumn, family, and the holidays. This butterfly, with its falling leaves, invokes nature both in thought and in form. The artist uses capiz shell and texture to bring this piece to life. The upper wings focus on the symbol of fall, with the turning of the leaves. The bottom invoke the color of falls with the hues of oranges, reds, and golds. Dimensions: 18in x 1in x 13in
