Being trapped indoors inevitably restricts outlook and activities. This made me feel the difference between being a caterpillar and being a butterfly. So spending many Covid19 avoidance locked down days cutting into this A3 size piece of plywood and then printing each of the 6 colours for the 8 copies (and 2 artists proofs) seemed analogous to the munching caterpillar with the ultimate hope of flying free. I liked the colour contrast between the subtle pinks of the buddleia and the vague green and browns of the background bush with the dramatic black, rich brown and bright orange/red of the red admirals’ wings.
