Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

Kaleidoscope of Butterflies references that each of the tableauxs of offerings to Anubis has a butterfly included. The butterfly is often used as a metaphor for transformation and we see it here as the soul transforms on its journey to the afterworld.

In Kaleidoscope of Butterflies we explore iconography with 3 dimensional objects arranged under the copy camera. The tableauxs were captured on large format colour paper negatives, infra-red film, digitally altered and also reshot onto glass with wet plate collodion.
