SILK BUTTERFLY PANELS Silk panels stitched with paper butterflies individually cut from the ephemera of life ( bus tickets, maps, music, books, scribbles, sketches ). One by one, each panel was gently dipped into a tray of midnight black ink allowing the colour to gradually seep through the fabric, flowing up through the butterflies wings. Words were handwritten on the silk, the nib catching on fabric threads as each letter escaped… Working together we sang a traditional song and, as the melody surrounded and echoed around us, pieces of magic appeared as the fabrics gently floated and fluttered in the evening sunset of Italy.
