Collections
Inspired by early ‘cabinets of curiosities’, this continuing series of ink drawings explores the human fascination with natural history ‘collecting’. The work reflects on the parallels and paradoxes of the role of the artist then, in their depiction of newly discovered natural ‘rarities’, and the role of the artist today as the realities of climate change and nature depletion become ever more apparent.
