MICRO INSECT FORMATIONS

  • Amelia  Boyes
Micro insect formations is centered around textures, shapes and outlines from looking at mainly butterflies, but also moths and beetles. My initial imagery/research came from three exhibitions; The Butterfly House at the Natural History Museum, The Bournemouth Natural Science Society and Creatures and Creations. This project has incorporated both organic and geometric motifs which has created a contrast within my collection showing variety. This collection shows perfected specialist skills, which are hand woven techniques combined with CAD embroidery, hand embellishment and laser techniques. This collection showcases a range of skills used in a complex and experimental way, disguising insects into a luxury Autumn/Winter womenswear collection.
