A Field Guide to the Butterflies
by Kaysha Siemens
“A Field Guide to the Butterflies” is a graphite drawing on a vintage library date-due card.
I have a precious small collection of these cards (which are no longer used by libraries, so they’re a very finite resource), and every so often I pull out a few and make art on them. Every single one is hard to let go, but it’s also wonderful to see how every one of them connects with a different person in a special way. There are a couple stamped due dates on the card (1973 and 74 – and maybe a 79, it’s hard to read!), and I love how they add history and character to the piece.
The card is mounted and matted with an acid-free mat, and will be shipped flat and ready to fit into any standard 5 x 7 inch frame.

My goal is the object of beauty, but that goal is achieved through engagement in process, and neither aim is worthwhile without meaning and intention. I seek to talk about the ordinary with the language of story, to arrest with exquisite imagery, and ultimately to leave viewers with a feeling, a lingering sense, that they have had a brush with the sublime.
