The framed paperwork is part of a body of work titled "Insectia". 
A series of pieces inspired by the dark and beautiful nature of insects. Drawing on research and Kerchache’s unique displays in “The Hand of Nature” this collection focuses on the fascinating metallic and jewel-like qualities of beetles and butterflies. It documents their brilliance and depth through a series of mixed media studies. Using light reflecting materials alongside laser cutting and illustration, the work aims to fuse traditional design with digitally innovative design methods and to encourage the use of digital design for creative output. Materials used include, glitter, gold leaf, inks, resin, coated and handmade papers in the construction and translation of the metallic and reflective qualities found within these creatures. 
The pieces are currently on sale at Urban Outfitters. If you would like to take a look, pop down to Covent Garden and they can be found on the upper 2 floors (Womenswear). 
Prices vary. Please email me for more info or to request a commission. 
I hope you enjoy!
