The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection Celebrates The Representation Of Flora As Fauna. Michael’S Fascination With A Particular Type Of Ginkgo Tree, The Ginkgo Biloba, Or “Butterfly Ginkgo”, Which Grows With A Double Leaf Reminiscent Of A Butterfly’S Wings, Gave Rise To A Fantasia Image Of The Plant. Executed At The Highest Level Of Handcraftsmanship, Each Piece Is Rendered In Solid Bronze With Acid Etched Cocoon-Shaped Vessels. The Pieces In The Collection Are A Tour De Force Of Indian Craft And Capture The Poetic Spirit That Is So Deeply Indicative Of Michael’S Work. “The First Time I Saw This Tree, It Literally Looked Like It Had Been Completely Overtaken By Butterflies…As If They Would All Take Flight The Moment I Walked Too Close Or Made A Noise. The Idea That The Leaves Could Evoke The Beauty Of Butterflies Was Magical To Me, Like Trees That Can Metamorphose From Flora To Fauna In The Blink Of An Eye.”
