A GROUND BREAKING 21ST CENTURY FIRST:

The traditional medium of botanical art is given a new lens with the aim to ultimately connect the reader to a bigger picture – one in which the intricate relationship between ourselves, the natural environment, plants and their pollinators is revealed. Expect meticulous detailing of floral structures, bursting seed pods, brightly coloured beetles, foraging ants, floating pollen and striped field mice…coupled with scientific facts and narrative stories about each plant. This is a florilegium immersed in the natural world, informed by ecology and the fragility of our botanical heritage. Each chapter includes an up-front ‘Wunderkammer’ of artists’ notes, colour swatches, working drawings and archeological details, revealing a glimpse into the creative process and ancient origins of the area.
