NATURAL HISTORIES

​

As a child I was always foraging in the garden, I delighted in finding creatures of all sorts. We had a miniature ' museum' which housed lots of natural history finds, including more exotic items brought over from Zimbabwe by my grandmother (where she grew up).

​

My fascination with natural history and museums continues, natural history collections have become the subject of an ongoing body of work.

The blue and white butterflies and insects are a homage to the work of the 17th century pioneering naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian.
