About
The 50 Origami Butterflies represent a life, which has been collected like a butterfly collection and preserved to be viewed and looked at.
The collection of butterflies inside the frame are all made from reclaimed paper, mostly insides of envelope, the do not add up to the sum of the man, collecting them cannot bring the magic of the man alive.
The single white butterfly placed outside, is made from a sheet of Fabriano paper, it represents the soul of Michael Jackson, which cannot be collected and is finally free.
Medium: Reclaimed Paper in a Frame
Year Created: 2009
Words
Description
The installation “Words” (IE8) was created by the artist, Rabhia Saeeda for her IE 9 series as part of her MA exhibition at Camberwell College July 2010.
This particular work explores the artist’s own cognitive disability, visually through the use of materials, the aim is to show all the barriers to understanding.
The original art work “Word” was hand drawn first on paper, this was scanned and saved as a PDF in Illustrator, and then etched using the Raster setting, 600 dpi using the Epilog Mini 24 Laser Cutter.
The piece “Thought process” which was represented by holes was drawn entirely in illustrator, using a 0.01 min line, and saved as a PDF, and cut using the Epilog Mini 24 Laser Cutter, under vector setting.
Final work was displayed on a light panel, which would allow all layers to be seen, including the light, which represented the final understanding.
