About the Item
Danza has a deep appreciation for the feelings of wonder and awe that come from being in nature. She tries to capture this experience with her immersive paintings, while also paying homage to the complex, overlapping ecological relationships of her subjects.
Spinning: Monarch and Milkweed explores the essential relationship between the Monarch butterfly and the Milkweed plant. The relationship between milkweed and monarch butterflies is one of mutualism (or coevolution), where both species benefit significantly: milkweed provides the only food source and host for monarch caterpillars, while monarchs offer pollination and, crucially, use milkweed's toxins for defense, becoming poisonous to predators, a defense that also deters parasites. It's a deeply specialized, interdependent bond where the butterfly's survival hinges on the plant, and the plant, in turn, benefits from the butterfly's pollination and protection against other threats .
The complexity of these small interactions and the spaces they create provide the backdrop to our daily musings but also the existence we sometimes take for granted. Danza hopes that viewers take a bit of that ineffable feeling of well being that comes from awe and wonder with them and that it brings them a bit closer to each other and the natural world we are all a part of.
