LACEWING
I would like to be introduced: a new kind of creature-- explorer, but no conqueror. Feed me on honeydew, nectar watch my metamorphosis from Lioness to Lacewing. I was Earth-bound, but like Amelia, I want to be first-- to make my own wings and fly high across the Pacific. — A. Flowers |
Lace Wing
760 x 760 Mixed Media - Paint, dress patterns, graphite, charcoal, metallic foil Inspired by the flight of Amelia Earhart across the Pacific, this peice juxtaposes the evolution of a woman's psyche as she becomes aware of the desire to be an explorer against the lifecycle of the Lacewing, an introduced species of insect beneficial to the environment. Lacewings go through a complete metamorphosis, including egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Their larvae are commonly called Aphid lions. |
