My inspiration for this piece was scarfs designed by Alexander McQueen. I was originally inspired by a scarf called 'the forgiveness scarf' which had a variety of vibrant insects .
I used a life size replica human skull to create this final piece - I found this added more interest then a simple drawing or painting of a skull. I used oil paints to paint the insects onto the skull in a variety of colours, sizes and species.
I chose to keep the skull symmetrical, painting the insects on like a mirror image - this mimics the symmetry in a butterflies wings.
