I am excited to announce that a new series of my drawings titled As if the Entanglement of our Lives did not Matter, is part of the exhibition ‘Florilegium: A gathering of flowers’ which brings together new and existing works from 4 contemporary artists and more than 40 established botanical artists.
The exhibition takes place at Inverleith House which reopens on Friday 16 October as the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh's first exhibition under Climate House, kick-starting their new manifesto for the arts!
Looking to RBGE’s incredible collection of more than 13,500 species for inspiration, artists from around the globe have responded to this internationally important collection, with works revealing how flowers can elicit personal, cultural, socio-political, historic, geographic, and scientific ideas.
