From vibrant thread and wire, Yumi Okita conjures thrillingly lifelike moths, butterflies, and flowers. The Raleigh-based artist (beforehand) meticulously embroiders bugs’ colourful wings with an eye fixed for realism, so till you’re up shut, they seem as if they might flutter away at any second. And in her more moderen sequence of otherworldly botanicals, petals, leaves, and roots curl to look as if they have been simply plucked from their habitats.
Okita usually provides authentic sculptures to her Etsy store, and you may also comply with updates on Instagram.
