The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael s fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo Biloba, or Butterfly ginkgo, which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly s wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael s work.
