BUTTERFLY'S REPOSE
AVI HENDRY, 2022
Brown Paper, Acrylic paint, numerous tin cans.
11 x 7 x 7 cm.
About the artwork…
My work explores the work of butterflies in our fast paced world designed for humans. I aim to visually represent the life of a butterfly via a tin can. I used an old food can for the base of my work. I glued brown paper to the exterior of the can and used brown paint on the inside to look like a tree trunk. I then used another tin can to produce butterflies, which I painted using acrylic paints. I used hot glue to ensure the butterflies would stick to the can. I then used green leaves so the primary tin can would look like a tree. The butterflies sticking to the can aims to represent a butterfly’s repose.
