You, Me and a Butterfly

  • Lyon Square 296 Lyon Street Northeast Grand Rapids, MI, 49503 United States (map)

Art installation presented by Valerie Wahna.

You, Me and a Butterfly is a large-scale mixed-media, abstract sculpture based on a butterfly bursting out of it’s cocoon. The sculpture is interactive as the viewer is encouraged to step within the space between the ornate, mirrored wings for photos. Reflections of onlookers in the partially mirrored wings allow multiple viewers to participate in the shared interaction. The individual triangles that make up the abstracted wings produce a kaleidoscope effect with their multiple colors, patterns, and mirrors. Some of the individual triangles will also have internal lights that become part of the experience in the evening.
