Paper artist Rebecca J. Coles sorts through stamps, hand-written and typed pages,
maps, and illustrations with her eye set on choosing particular colors and patterns.
Armed with scissors -very sharp ones, I'd imagine-
she transforms these bits of ephemera into beautiful butterflies.
Delicate butterflies, each with its own history, join together in a winged conglomeration!
The resulting piece of art is a bold, contemporary statement,
but as we look closer, we see each individual, fragile butterfly.
Rebecca delights in the process of reusing common paper
to draw, cut and shape lovely butterflies into a captivating 3D work of art!
Not entirely unlike the metamorphosis from their cocoons, I'd say.
Light and airy. So intricate! Just gorgeous.
