This piece pays tribute to the migratory flight paths of some butterfly species. Their journeys are represented in meandering lines of optical dichroic panels. The artwork produces patterns of coloured light that change over the day, reflecting the metamorphic transformation and fleeting life of these beautiful insects.
Hidden within this artwork is a coded message which honours the painted lady butterflies migration. Using binary code techniques to decipher the arrangement of dichroic filters, Wood has embedded their migrated journey of '9000 miles’ through the pattern design of this sculpture.
