This golden nest was built up on the altar of the City Church in Mönchengladbach, Germany. 2000 butterflies crocheted by 75 people worldwide in a participatory way, were also set up and dismantled in a participatory manner.
It is the heart of my solo exhibition of textile butterfly objects.
Material: metal, original rescue blankets, tape, wire, 2000 hand crocheted butterflies
Gold: shows the high value of nature, here: butterflies or insects
Rescue blankets: underline the urgent need to save our nature, here at the example of butterflies.
The participatory approach: underlines that the "rescue" can only succeed together by all of us.
The entire installation wants to be understood as a hymn of praise to nature.Â
