"Who's afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?", 2008. slide projector, morpho butterfly
A single blue butterfly is pinned directly to the wall of a museum in the context of an exhibition on art and science. Across the room a slide projector on a stack of blank books projects details of a wonder bread package onto the iridescent wings. The creature becomes a hybrid of known and unknown substances - a source of "wonder". Linking the industrialization of food production to modernism through ideas of abstraction ie. food colouring and monochrome painting, the work explores the intertwined language of art and science.
