Full description

"When on board HMS Beagle, as a naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species - that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers."

Charles Darwin

In this stunning one-of-a-kind piece, each of the nine Butterflies are built with the wonderful words penned in Darwin's diary whilst aboard the H.M.S beagle. The accompanying line drawings marry beautifully to the text.

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

The piece will come to you in a black wood shadow box measuring 28.5cm x 23.5cm which can be either freestanding or hung.

The butterfly art really works for me, from a distance it's one thing, then close up, it's a deeper level of personal detail. I can't get enough of symmetry and meaning in 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 so much for looking at 'The Voyage of the Beagle'
