The Orange Acrobat - Front View; 2021; 22 3/8 x 92 5/8 inches; colored pencils, graphite pencils, charcoal pencils and pastels. This depiction of a Monarch enclosure from the frontal view is divided into three drawing parts with spaces between each part. The spaces represent the opening of the chrysalis caused by the butterfly kicking it outward to create an opening for the butterfly to emerge. After the butterfly opened the chrysalis the first time, the chrysalis closed again while the butterfly rested before opening the chrysalis a second time. Two spaces are incorporated into the drawing for that reason.
