'A Collection of Rarities'

I've been working on some pieces for my exhibition titled 'A Collection of Rarities', which will take place at The Willow Gallery in Oswestry from 6th March until 1st of April. I still have a couple more 3D pieces to finish (I will add images as and when I finish them).
All of the pieces have been influenced by botanical illustrations of the late nineteenth century and inspired by the Victorian fascination of decorative arts and the preservation and presentation of nature under glass domes and within cabinets and cases. I have created my own 'Collection of Rarities' as part of an ongoing theme incorporating my “micro-blooms”, a combination of micro-organisms and floral images, which can be found present in all of my work.
