BUTTERFUL MOMENTS IN LIFE 🧈

Fundraising Auction 22 - 25 November 2021

 

Butterful Moments in Life is an art project that invites 7 Australian-based artists (and collaborators) to paint and customise their own version of the Butter album by BTS. 

Inspired by the YouTube video where the 7 members of BTS each decorate their own album, this project brings together ARMY and non-ARMY artists to create new works of art using the album as the canvas in the spirit of solidarity and shared joy during moments of isolation.

The resulting art albums will be auctioned via Instagram in November 2021, with 50% proceeds going to the artists, and 50% going to PS Mutual Aid - which supports a number of low/no income households including many families that cannot access government support during the COVID-19 health crisis.

I really wanted to capture the joy that BTS have given me in my daily life, plus their generosity and playfulness. Their friendship with each other, and the happiness that they give out to the world is the core of the inspiration.

“When you're going through a slump, instead of over-thinking too much, it's actually better to think of ways to not think of anything at all.” - Park Jimin, BTS Festa 2018.

For me being a fan is about joy and leaning into the sentimental moments in life and the poetry that can happen in everyday moments..  aka 'Butterful Moments in Life'!

‘Flowers from a Fan’ depicts a felt bouquet of thanks for fans everywhere: for the sense of community that comes from feeling connected through mutual enthusiasm for any given thing, and the joy that it creates.

I’ve only known BTS earlier this year and fell hard for them. What amazed me the most is that their actions always have a positive impact on their fans, and the world in general. From speech at the UN, highlighting mental health during the pandemic, their positive attitude, they always create ripple effects from their action.

 As a self-confessed #casualfan, I wanted to make a pair of plush Butter albums that you can take with you everywhere. One is crocheted, one is knitted, but both are made with love.
