My entry for this week has no inherent logic in being red, except that I have been wanting to try papercuts for some time. I saw some magnificent red ones at the APT-5 and when the topic came up I knew immediately this was my chance. I have also to thank the lovely Anita and Mark for the gorgeous red paper - it is part of my birthday present of a packet of beautiful Japanese papers. You'll probably see more of them featured in future posts (the papers I mean).
The imagery is a further exploration of the life cycle of the butterfly as a metaphor for transience. This piece isn't really finished, but was nearly running out of time to submit, so this is just a rough mount.
