C O L L E C T O R . . .


I absolutely adore the butterfly collections in Wollaton Hall, Notts. There are row upon row of beautifully delicate specimens of butterflies from around the world. Totally inspirational in terms of colour, pattern, and intricate detail. There is also an air of something rather sinister about these dead insects pinned into straight columns and encased in glass for all to see. The Latin labelled in an old typewritten font shows us how dated these sort of collections are, but to me that is what gives it such charm. I fell in love with the collections so much that I decided to dedicate my 3rd year final project into studying collections of butterflies and taxidermy.
