Info
My work lies at the intersection of art and science. It is an exploration of our relationship with nature from an urban perspective, focusing on the desire to collect, organise, study and ultimately protect the natural world. At first glance it appears to be an observation of delicate intricate beauty, executed with forensic detail, but underneath this surface perfection there are powerful tales of scientific discovery, and the deeper darker stories of personal human experience.
