Single Wing Butterfly Collection Artwork

A stunning butterfly picture created from the pages of a French classic novel.

This beautiful handmade artwork is a collection of single cut paper butterflies created from the French Literary Classic, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. A stunning gift for any lover of literature each handcut butterfly varies in size to form a unique pattern. The butterflies are set on a background of the manipulated text of the novel which then flows up the sides of the box frame.

This work is part of a series of works based on literature, inspired by my fascination with museum collections. The book has been chosen for its meaning, the visual quality of the paper and the print style. I use second-hand, damaged and unloved books for these artworks.

A personalised version based on a favourite book, poem, piece of music or map can be commissioned as a special gift.

The Artists Version, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses', is based on the format of the main picture but butterfly size, positions will vary making each a unique artwork.

Each picture comes with a choice of frame colours included in the price.
