The Butterfly House- Additional inspiration

The butterfly house is an architectural sculpture designed by Laurie Chetwood who was inspired by the lifecycle of a butterfly. This dramatic art installation/ home is a inspiration for me as the use of insects such as butterflies aligns with one of my themes of art nouveau. And I could easily replicate the chaotic forms with wire in my design

The winged shape is something id like to incorporate in my design whether it be overt like the butterfly house or something more subtle. Chetwood’s colour usage is also meaningful as the wings are a direct influence of the red admiral butterfly’s markings.
