Kimi Kaplowitz

I chose to use the theme of travel to create a design for A Case for Art. The entire case is covered with world maps, a current one on the interior, and an antique-looking one on the exterior. The inside of the case contains numerous butterflies that float on fish wire and springs. All of the insects are made of maps. All of the butterflies are no more than 3 inches across. The butterflies are painted to look like monarchs, because this species is known to travel great distances.
