About This Item
Portland, Maine:: Rebecca Goodale,, 2001.. Edition of 10. 9.625 x 9.5 x .75"; 4 leaves. Silkscreen printed accordion onto which are tipped handcut inkjet-printed butterflies. Clothbound portfolio case closed with an elastic band. Linda J. Docherty, Catalog of the Exhibition: Threatened and Endangered: Artists' Books Created by Rebecca Goodale, 2004: "Four Maine Butterflies illuminates the fragile beauty of the natural world. It invites contemplations of differences among insects that appear, at first glance, similar. Goodale shows the intricate silhouettes and subtle markings that distinguish Edwards' hairstrea, Clayton's copper, hessel's hairstreak, and Katahdin Arctic. The butterfly forms are cut out and placed on decorative backgrounds inspired by their individual host plants. In the history of art, the butterfly symbolizes resurrection, and Goodale captures this hopeful quality. The insects pop up and hover over the pages, vibrating with life despite their endangered status.
