About the Item

Airborne captures blue morpho butterflies in mid flight swirling in ascension in a frenetic busy cluster. The species is a migratory butterfly which naturally cluster on their long journeys when resting. This is a small study of around 43 blue morpho butterflies. The butterflies are displayed inside a bell jar. Each butterfly is double-sided and individually hand-cut, with black wire antennae. They are pierced and suspended on 1mm brass rods. Each butterfly is fabricated in robust paper-based materials with a metallic reflective quality, and a further five processes including printing, die cutting, scoring, folding into a three dimensional form, finishing and pinning to the back board. This work represents days of precision, and the result is truly extraordinary and of exceptional quality. Daniel Byrne transforms nature’s most arresting specimens into living beings by reimagining the poses and formations of real life and translating these into compositions that help us connect with them. He has a focus on the drama of the natural world and the potential of color and pattern presented in multiples. His work incorporates butterflies, with their varying colors and wing patterns, birds and fish, all lending themselves particularly well to graphic compositions To Byrne, the natural world creates beautiful patterns out of what can seem to be random and chaotic. Yet this chaos is choreographed by the creatures themselves, be it by communication or a shared motivation. The piece is labelled and signed by the artist. Packaging ensures complete security. Note: We also have these in gold and silver by the same artist.
