"The inspiration behind this artwork and its
placement near a playground was that I
wanted to create something elegant, safe, and
eye catching that would hopefully draw
children near to the artwork. The artwork
can be place closely together, or spread apart,
offering safe refuge for nesting insects. The
vision of butterflies nestled within the safe
confines of these abstracted “vases” to emerge
in view of children was exciting. Hopefully
viewers will see butterflies, pupa, cocoons,
and caterpillars all around the location, and
all with wildflowers creating an urban
meadow. I really want this artwork to allow
for close-up inspection by children." - Andrew Woodard
