Several drawings created as part of a residency with North Yorkshire County Records Office and Chrysalis Arts will be shown in Collecting Nature a group exhibition at Eagle Gallery, London from 16 November 2023.
‘Collecting Nature draws on the work of six artists who explore a rich tradition that spans Medieval bestiaries, botanicals and herbariums to the collections of 18th and 19th century self-taught amateur naturalists. The exhibition encompasses many mediums including artist’s books, botanical drawings, etchings, photographs, entomology boxes, cutting-edge silk screens and stone-printed lithographs. The artists focus on nature to comment upon history, the passage of time, the fragility of our eco-system.’
The exhibition includes works by Mandy Bonnell, Tracey Bush, Marisa Culatto, Jane Joseph, Serena Smith and Carolyn Thompson and continues until 22 December 2023.
