This ongoing series aims to capture something of the essence and detail of the plants we live amongst. Plants which are celebrated, overlooked or seen as weeds are reframed in a way that makes you look, and look again.
Inspiration comes from the golden age of botanical art. Scientific studies in which the whole plant – flowers to roots – were documented. These are my own interpretations of living specimens, with careful attention given to the form and balance of these natural structures.
