Detail One of The Orange Acrobat - Front View; 2021; 22 3/8 x 62 3/8 inches, colored pencils, graphite pencils, charcoal pencils and pastels. In this third section of the drawing, eleven activity positions of the butterfly exiting its chrysalis are portrayed. The background color transitions from a cool purplish color, when the butterfly is still inside the chrysalis, to a warmer yellow color at the portrayal of the butterfly exiting its chrysalis. The transition to the warm yellow background correlates with more movement from the butterfly. The background of the drawing also repeats a pattern depicting a life circle. Life circles seen through the transparent chrysalids are colored green to symbolize the past caterpillar life stage.
