Butterfly Villages

mixed media

The Botanical Garden of the University of Turku

2011

I have used natural materials, for example wood, cones, reeds and stalks when building the butterfly nests. Some of the materials I have gathered from the Botanical Garden in Ruissalo. I have followed the example of the caddisfly and the spionid worm among others in the building work, and I have used the techniques of these insects: hollowing, wrapping, weaving and fastening. I welcome the Brimostone moth, the Mourning Cloak and the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly to make a nest in my box!
