Artist Statement:
This artwork brings a whimsical thought to the viewers' eyes. It takes an old book and gives it a new purpose. The butterflies seem to be floating in thin air and coming a live out of the book. This artwork is organized by using the element of design, form. The form of this artwork is the 3D butterflies floating above the book. The artist of inspiration for this piece of art is David Kracov. He has created some beautiful pieces that I used as inspiration. While making this I was thinking about how repurposing a book could turn into something beautiful. The use of the pages cut out into butterflies to bring life to the art. The function for this piece of art is to be visually appealing, something you could appreciate to look at. This is one of my favorite art projects I have made. It could some trial and error to find a way to uphold the butterflies. After finding old wire and recycling them, they were the perfect item to use. I would say this art piece was very successful. |
