About the artwork
I have created ultra high resolution images of 9 butterflies and 1 moth, printed at 100cm x 100cm – revealing microscopic details of these captivating creatures to the smallest scale and clearly showing anatomical features like their cells, hair and scales. Butterflies are a symbol of freedom but, fragile, harmless and beautiful, they are also under threat globally. In Britain, there are only 60 species left and many of those are on the brink of extinction. They are the canaries in the coalmine of our environment. If there are habitats for butterflies, free from pollution or undue quantities of fertilizer, which bully out the nectar plants on which the insects depend, then other animals follow. Get it right for them, you get it right for nearly everything. Get it wrong, butterflies are the first to disappear. These creatures are rarely seen, let alone at this scale, just image them at 100 x 100cm – Printed on , Canson Rag Photographique 310gsm archival paper with Anti Reflective Perspex and framed (30mm wide) in a black or white frameSunset Moth, Chrysiridia Ripheus - Madagascar
