There has been an invisible dark cloud brought upon the colleges and universities of Arizona. That Cloud is called Proposition 300, this requires all non-citizen students to pay out of state tuition for college; even if the student has lived most of their life in the state. They may also not receive any financial assistance or state funds. The golden butterflies in my art work are the dreams of these students of continuing their path to a higher education. The black smog shrouds the light in their dreams and kills of the golden butterflies. In other words their dreams die.
For the butterflies I use the scoring technique and apply the stop motion concept to make them appear as they are flying. I made a blue and green screen 40"x52" and used putty to mount the butterflies on to the sheet; as a result I was able to give the effect that they are flying in the sky.
Materials: Paper, Bristol Paper, Blue and Green construction paper, Adhesive Putty, Digital Camera, Soundtrack.
Size 40"x52"
