From egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to full adult butterfly, humanity goes through iterations of itself, just as each of us does as individuals. Though each phase is virtually unrecognizable from any other, each plays a vital part in the launching and beauty of what comes next. Interestingly, when beginning this piece, I had no intention of creating a butterfly or the metaphor that accompanies it. But suddenly, there it was, and it all made sense.
(As one of the owners of the Woolworths project, I’ve had the privilege of being intimately involved with every inch of this historic building. During construction, we discovered layers of original wallpaper hidden beneath the surface. Intrigued by its texture and history, I was inspired and saved as much as I could. These pieces are a blend of that original wallpaper and my own handmade, hand-painted paper. They embody the spirit of the project itself: “holding hands with the past while walking into the future.” We’ve taken an old building, rough around the edges but beautiful in so many ways, and merged it with our vision and intention. The result is something entirely new, a harmony of past and present.)
