The words and illustrations in this mesmerizing one of a kind piece are extracts taken from a gigantic early 1950's book titled:

'The World We Live In'
by
"The editorial staff at 'Life' and Lincoln Barnett"

"The World We Live In spanned a diverse range of topics concerning planet Earth and universe, and employed the talents of countless artists and photographers."

Eucledian, Positive or Negative, that is the question put forward in the chapter titled "Three Possible Kinds of Space". This piece has a really nice depth to it, as it should considering the subject matter.

As the text is taken from a 60+ year old book the butterflies have a beautiful aged quality to the paper. The Butterflies rest on a black pastel paper and beautiful little star maps construct the secondary wings.

The butterfly content is painstakingly chosen, hand cut, hand sewn and attached.

The piece will come to you in a black wood shadow box measuring 33cm x 24cm (outer dimensions of the frame) which can be either freestanding or hung.

The butterfly art really works for me, from a distance it's one pretty thing, then close up, it's a deeper level of detail. I can't get enough of symmetry and detail.

If this isn't exactly what you are looking for, I completely welcome custom projects, Imagine a piece like this but with any content special to you, I will source any book, maps, lyrics, quotes or anything you require.

Thanks for looking at 'Three Possible Kinds of Space
