NFS - Cloud Effect 1, Inkjet Prints of Original Pen and Ink Drawings, Diorama, 24" x 36", 2017 While researching monarch butterflies for another artwork, I came across a phenomenon called “Cloud Effect.” Migrating monarch butterflies, while roosting in eucalyptus trees, would suddenly swarm and form clouds of their own whenever real clouds block out the sun. No one quite knows why they do this, but some speculate it’s too keep their bodies warm. After 3,000 miles, and three generations later, the lucky ones reach the Transvolcanic Mountains of Mexico. There they overwinter in the oyamel fir forests, living up to 9 months rather than a few weeks, till the cycle starts again. Their arrival coincides with “El Dia de los Muertos.” It is said that they represent the souls of the departed, returning to visit for this sacred occasion. In my work, I imagine the monarchs swarming and for a brief instant, create a skull, then disperse again into a shapeless form.
