GIANT BUTTERFLY~ JUNK ART~ COLLABORATION WITH LORELI~!

Autumn, 2006~ my friend Loreli and I got together with

a big ass pile of junk~ scrap metal~ wood~ animal bones~

you name it~ and busted out some collaborative sculpture.

The giant butterfly is made from the roof of an old Dodge

Van, a 2.5 inch diameter pipe, and some rebar, painted in

full glorious color by Loreli after welding it all together.

You can see a smaller-sized big butterfly hanging from

a tree in the background while she adds some details...
