dc.description.abstractButterfly Brown groundedness physicality passion Butterfly White awareness acceptance willingness Butterfly Blue longing humility gratitude In describing how I feel as a physical being, I draw from an experience of spiritual unfolding, which I compare to blooming. This is symbolized by the butterfly, which emerges in full glory, its purpose and beauty exhibited as a single attribute. Its metamorphosis and inherent interactions in nature follow a greater cycle. This artwork is an expression of that depth and radiance which I feel in being human. Though intended for the human body, these pieces are designed to transcend human proportion. Because the feelings I am describing are powerful, the resulting form is voluminous. To wear the garment is to feel at once small, extended, fixed, and magnificent. The velvet is heavy and luxurious. The butterfly form signifies freedom and lightness of being, while the amount of fabric hinders movement and grace. It is a sensation of both suffering and sweetness.
