A butterfly's wing embraces the tattooed back of a woman.
  • Serpent’s Butterfly
  • Palladium on Japanese gampi.
  • 2019
  • 15 X21.5 inches

The wing of a butterfly embraces her tattooed back. I see our intersection with nature, not only in it’s beauty as butterflies are, but in our fabric of existence. Butterflies pollinate flowers which then produce the fruit we eat.

I was moved to place the butterfly wing into her tattooed back to speak of this intersection.
