I've combined two thoughts about problems: “The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution, but in our working at it incessantly.” By C. G. Jung; and “You cannot solve a problem on the same level you created it” by A. Einstein. The arrangement of the words resembled the wings of a butterfly so I added more. I liked the notion of butterflies emerging like new ways of viewing old problems.
The medium is acrylic ink on canvas with appliqué. I first painted the canvas in Lisa Engelbrecht’s class and of course I admire her work a lot so her calligraphy is a huge inspiration for me. I've painted some of the butterfly fabrics with Golden acrylic paint and iridescent medium. The canvas was also sewn with sparkly Ricky Tims thread.
Fun! Now it’s time to tend to my weedy garden!
