Insects have often been used in art as symbols of the brevity of life and also because of the beauty of their colors and varied forms.
I patterned and draped and drew and painted the insects on muslin fabric. I used a micron, sharpies and watery acrylic paints to stain in color. Finally, I ombré died the hemline to give the effect of transcendence from the referenced painting to the garment.
