Textile Moth and Butterfly Sculptures by Yumi Okita
North Carolina-based artist Yumi Okita creates stunning fabric moths, butterflies and other assortment of insects using embroidery techniques on textures textiles to replicate the living specimens. The colorful and soft creatures are a domestic version of the original, where the artist ventures outside the evolutionary boundaries and gives the insects her own touch of brilliant jewel tones, using a varied selection of thread and yarn to bring about the desired effect, if not true to nature, then in tribute to her imagination.
The artist sells her larger than life size textile sculptures, where she expertly interweaves thread, fur, feather, wire fabric, cotton and many more elements to form the figure on Etsy.

I want to smell your room
Some feelings aren’t worth sharing sometimes

I still look at old spaces you don’t live in anymore, and still feel a presence of what you left behind
It’s still there, and my heart still beats faster passing by
Every time
the prism in the painting room this morning--the sun is back out:)
