BIRD, BEE AND BUTTERFLY
mixed polage art media, 6 inches
edition of 12
“Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees are the most joyful signs of Spring in my garden and on our hikes. They always inspire my work, partly because their colors are so analogous to those of my Polage® art.” –Austine
The colors in hummingbird feathers and in the “scales” of butterfly wings are the result of the same “birefringence” that Austine uses to create the colors in her works of art. And bees can “see” the polarized light of the sky, the same kind of light Austine uses to bring her art alive. So, this work pays homage to the mysterious properties of light that give us so much beauty to see in nature.
