Easter weekend. Photographs taken of spring flowers and skies.
Over two-hundred butterflies cut from printed vellum originally planned for an installation in the college chapel,
but cancellation meant I was able to use them here.

The final window installation stayed up for several weeks.

In March 2020, the UK locked down, and the Mount House Gallery closed the group exhibition early. The five series of window sets are the result of a spontaneous idea stemming from disappointment at seeing an empty gallery space and the desire to brighten the town in some way. Each window pane was the size of an A3 sized paper so for the first installation I chose and printed forty photographs of macro views of flowers. I didn’t think I would be doing more than one but what resulted in four more installations were a joy for me to create.
