Gallery

Molly Morin’s show, The Butterly Factory, will be featured in the Gallery at The Space On Main for the months of January, February, and March 2023.

ARTISTS’ STATEMENT

Welcome to The Butterfly Factory – Bradford Edition! The Butterfly Factory is a project that creates one-of-a-kind butterfly images, some of which are inspired directly by our town of Bradford. This set of works was initially based on wings drawn by Leondardo da Vinci as part of a flying machine sketch. Each of the butterflies in this show is unique – they are generated by a program written by Morin, and then printed in pigment ink by a vinyl cutter that Morin modified for this process. For Morin, the butterflies signify curiosity for nature, science and math, and are a celebration of exploration and play.

The Bradford Butterflies are 10 brand new butterflies inspired by our community. These butterflies have open, outstretched wings that are full and flowing. They are meant to reflect the warm welcome she experienced from her neighbors when she moved to Bradford this summer, and her hopes for Bradford as a vibrant and inclusive community.

Molly Morin is an artist living and working in Bradford, VT. She is an artist in residence in the Digital Justice Lab at Dartmouth College, and was an art professor for fifteen years. She has been awarded numerous grants and has presented at venues including the The Digital Visualization Theater at the University of Notre Dame, The National Academy of Science, and Processing Community Day at UCLA. She has exhibited widely, including shows at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, The Collaboratory at UC Santa Barbara, and The South Bend Museum of Art. She spends her spare time exploring with her wife and three rescue dogs.
