About this piece, Field Notes 5: A butterfly’s delicate wings are framed by hand-printed cyanotypes from my collection. Textures including a topographic map, toned navy stripes, and a drawing of crystals create a blue-on-blue frame for this lovely specimen.

About the Field Notes series: These quilt-inspired “minis” were studies for the collection that I began in 2022. I was able to try out color combinations, stitching techniques, and composition and framing ideas on a small scale. These gems turned out to be some of my favorites in the collection! They’d look beautiful on a wall, in a grouping, or displayed on a shelf.
