The Orange Acrobat - Back View; 2021; 21 5/8 x 92 5/8 inches; colored pencils, graphite pencils, charcoal pencils and pastels. This drawing illustrates the Monarch butterfly in the eclosure process from the back view. The Monarch eclosure sequence is separated into two parts with a space between them. The space represents the point at which the chrysalis begins to crack caused by the butterfly kicking it outward to create an opening enabling the butterfly to emerge from the chrysalis. The drawing reads from left to right within a horizontal format with time increments noted between portrayals of eclosure activity. The sequence is drawn in a poster type format with large titles and dates of the event to humorously refer to the insect transformation as a “show” that took place. The event was captivating to watch.
