Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

View from above into a richly decorated round box in shades of orange, green, gold and yellow. On a padded brocade fabric, the butterfly is pinned next to a decorative element. The inside edges are lined with braids. Around the edge is a handmade ribbon of perlage with floral elements in orange and green, made from the tiniest of limited edition rocailles and finest brass wire.
Close-up view of the inner. The butterfly has green forewings and grey hindwings. Its body is made of black leather and green silk. Its right wings are covered by a transparent gossamer hand-made with raw silk and some yellow and green silk threads. The decorative element is made of green plastic fused with cement. A flower is glued in between. It was crocheted from golden DCM yarn, its pistil consists of 5 green picasso beads.
The inner rim of the box in close-up shows how the perlage line is constructed and sewn down over the braid. There are three beads in each element: one green bead over two orange ones.
The outside of the box is covered with orange-brown sari silk. Above the rim of the box, the perlage elements stand up in the air.

2/2 Another one of my #cigarette #BiodiversityShrines The article in the box is about Ectopistes migratorius, a wild pigeon extinct in 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenge A history of colonisation and commercialisation!
For the materials read the AltTexts. #assemblages #assemblageArt #shrines #waste #artActivism #Activism #biodiversityLoss #klosterarbeiten #Anthropocene #mixedmedia

Lower part: An abstract structure looking like a bird, mostly emerald green and very glossy on a German article about an extinct bird species: "Von Milliarden blieb keine mehr." A precious green golden braid inside the box edges. The upper lid: Paper from a book page destroyed by heat showing an animal of the sea in green-blue.
A macro shows the origin of the "bird": It is a conglomerate of different materials found on a burning wild rubbish dump. The green was a plastic bottle. Labelled paper and indefinable materials are caked to the side of it. I varnished the green plastic with an extra glossy varnish. So it resembles a semi-precious stone.
Approaching the bird-like something: the splendid emerald-like body glistens.
The bird-like structure looks like a pigeon that lays its head back to sleep.

After moving here to assemblag.es I was due to post an #introduction…

Then didn’t, then had more specifically on *here* in particular, and so after a brief intro are *other thoughts* (YMMV, as always).

HELLO! My name is John V Willshire, and with my wife Helen I run Smithery (smithery.com), a Strategic Design Unit in the UK.

Interest: #strategy, #design, #futures, #futurethinking, #communities #culture, #economics, #systems vs #assemblages. Also revisiting writing #music as a hobby again.
