Overview
Lives: Melbourne / Naarm
These drawings are not botanical illustrations in any scientific sense. I don’t know much about botany or horticulture; but I am quite interested in found plant material which is imperfect, damaged, deformed or decomposing. Ultimately, the subject matter is secondary to the process, which is absorbing and labour-intensive, involving many layers of colour and a satisfying degree of precision afforded by the medium.
