In chaos theory butterflies are powerful metaphors for insignificant tiny actions and their ultimate unintended massive consequences. This couplet from Blake’s Auguries of Innocence written in the 1800’s intertwines with the potent words of Greta Thunberg from the 2020’s.

This small poster was printed in 5 passes using 1 butterfly block, 8-Line woodtype and 10pt Univers. It is printed on gorgeous, thick, rich blue paper stock. It measures 15 x 30cm and comes unmounted. This is a Limited Edition of 20. Each poster is signed and numbered.
