Baby Flutter: Medium Swallowtail

2012
Meandrusa payeni ciminius

Originating in South Asia and Southeast Asia,  the butterfly is also sometimes known as 'Outlet Sword' or 'The Sickle'.

Baby Flutter is a collection of artworks that explores Harris' fascination with butterflies and their exquisite forms. Within the interactively controlled pieces, each individual butterfly is brought to life through innovative technologies that facilitate unique viewer engagement.

Drawing on his travels and experiences, Harris has selected his favourite ten butterflies, one for each of the LCD screens. Some are native to specific regions he has visited, while others are commonly found across the globe. Each species has been reinterpreted as a 'living' portrait, exhibiting their particular attributes. As a viewer approaches the artwork, the butterflies change from resting pose to flight mode, tracking the viewer's movements in an effort to display their beautiful wings in slow-motion flight.
