Blue And Gold Botanics

Each piece is an original botanical cyanotype, created using natural material I have grown or collected in Derbyshire.

I am trained in horticulture and plant science, and so the work grows out of a detailed exploration of the botanical features of the plants.

I use liquid gold leaf to highlight the form of the plants.

The work produced follows three main themes.

The first is a modern take of the traditional herbarium-style of the 1800’s, the second examines the form of the plants and the patterns these create, and the third are ecologically-informed landscapes.
