Silhouette

Medium - Artificial Butterfly Wings, Size - 16 X 20 inches, Date -1-12-22 This imaginative silhouette scene is crafted from artificial butterfly wings. I referenced the vibrant burgundy, yellow, and indigo blue colors of kente cloth to use colors that would create a harmonious blend. An older woman is seated at a table, engrossed in reading a book. Her form is outlined with burgundy wings to symbolize wisdom and tranquility. A teapot sits on the table, with its shape defined by deep indigo-blue wings, adding serenity to the scene. Opposite the woman, an elephant stands on its hind legs, trunk upturned, seemingly poised to pour tea with its forelegs. The elephant’s playful yet majestic presence is highlighted with yellow and indigo wings, symbolizing strength and joy. Beneath the table, a chicken is centered, its silhouette crafted from a blend of all three colors, grounding the scene.
