This design incorporates signature works from 'Swarm' & 'Transparency of a dream' underwater butterfly collection of underwater photographs. You can view the butterfly collection here where you can find unique prints and editions. There are also a range of luxurious silk and moleskin cushions featuring these artworks here.

I recently test printed this wallpaper design, the colour on the test rolls was promising enough but would be further enhanced at the next stage by adding an extra pearl ink print layer masked perfectly to the butterfly outlines and using UltraChome™ inks, finishing off in silk velvet flock making for an incredible finish with a deep sense of touch.

These original underwater photographic plates were created by utilising waters refractive quality to intensify the natural colours of these incredible rare butterfly specimens, all of which were hand reared in the studio on projects that took over a decade to complete. The design is made up from the 'Swarm' (2008 - 2011) and 'Transparency of a dream' (2013 - 2016) photographic series. 

The digital test printed wallpaper rolls were produced with Cole & Son, London; operating since 1875, by appointment to His Majesty The King.
