With their diaphanous wings and brilliant colors, butterflies symbolize both beauty and metamorphosis.

Placitas artist Judith Roderick scattered those images across her silk quilts for a one-woman show at Wild Hearts Gallery. They flit above ladders and soar into rainbows in her luminous designs.

Roderick has been depicting her high desert surroundings in fiber since 1982, when she was one of the original owners of the Albuquerque yarn store Village Wools. She followed a trajectory from oils, watercolors, acrylics and lithography before she discovered the vibrant palette of silk dyes.

Her journey into the path of the silkworm began in 1982, when French silk dyes were introduced into this country.

鈥淲hen I saw those silk dyes it was like, 鈥楾hat鈥檚 what I want,鈥� 鈥� she said. 鈥淚 was so thrilled with the colors.鈥�

The expansive sky, the sudden storms and the looming New Mexico mountains tumble into landscapes across Roderick鈥檚 silk canvas.

Her butterfly series grew in part from her concern for the Earth in flutters of wings, chrysalis and caterpillars.

鈥淚 decided I wanted to make something beautiful and uplifting,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hen I started thinking about transformation and metamorphosis. The butterfly kept coming to me.鈥�

She dipped into an old stencil stash and started pinning and painting. Roderick is no stranger to recycling; she often slices out the silk linings of old jackets to use as canvas.

She created 鈥淎ltar for the Earth,鈥� with its butterflies, flowers and mountainscapes, to honor the planet.

鈥淚f we all thought of the Earth as a living being, she wouldn鈥檛 be in the mess she鈥檚 in now,鈥� Roderick said. 鈥淲hen you see a butterfly, it鈥檚 always like, 鈥楢h, how lovely and beautiful.鈥� 鈥�

Her transparent hues flow like watercolor, shading and melting into natural forms 鈥� rocks, cliffs, trees and clouds. She sometimes adds buttons for texture and whimsy; at other times, she glues gemstones to her creations.

Her 鈥淩ainbow of Butterflies鈥� began with a mirrored print of the two horses with jimsonweed at the bottom of her silk canvas.

鈥淚 just loved the symmetry of the thing,鈥� she said.

Her smaller hand pieces (they鈥檙e 9-by-12-inch to 12-by-12 inch) grew out of a trip to the caves of northern Spain and southern France last fall.

鈥淲e took this National Geographic trip,鈥� Roderick said. 鈥淭hey all had hand prints. Those things were done like 20,000 years ago. It just blows my mind.鈥�

She was meditating on the spring equinox, so her hands scattered seeds.

鈥淚 have so many ideas and I enjoy making small things that are more affordable to people,鈥� she said.

Roderick made her first quilt in 18 years after bringing home her mother鈥檚 button collection. She looked at a silk banner hanging on the wall and decided it would look good quilted with buttons. She has been making quilts ever since.

鈥淚 always came back to fiber,鈥� Roderick said. 鈥淚 started sewing as a child. I learned so I could make my own clothes, so I didn鈥檛 have to wear what Mom made.鈥�
