butterflies

An installation art work by NZ artist Anna Stichbury,  called Gilded Butterflies.
This work caught my eye in the window of Ora Gallery in Wellington.
The work attracted my attention firstly because of the circle shape it is presented in and secondly the  wonderful shades of gold it is painted in. 
I like it as an image because of the repeated pattern , rhythm and colour it offers. 
I love that it is about butterflies and that each butterfly is a  different design. It reminds me of nature and prompts me to think about New Zealand conservation.
I feel it is a very satisfying piece of work manifested in 200 pieces that are  hand painted  on 650 gsm cotton card.
