Butterfly Swarm I

"The butterfly monograms are the staple pieces to any of my installations and they are the ones that started it all! I am always creating new swarms in different configurations with unique background stitching for the boxes. The pieces start with a background created from luxury boxes and bags that are deconstructed. The butterflies are all embroidered in my studio and are created for each piece. They are available in any size configuration as well as any style of box and there are always new variants being added." - Steven Wilson Studio 12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic. 2025 About the artist : Stephen Wilson expertly crafts extraordinary and timeless designs using sustainable materials.
