Paper by Dragonfly

Celebrating the natural world though paper botany, I am constantly inspired by the natural shapes, forms and colours of British hedgerow and wayside plants and trees. Focussing on sustainability, my sculptures are created using wood, wire and paper, often coloured using natural dyes taken from plant and vegetable matter. The resultant colours’ occasional fugitive nature adds a temporal dimension to the work, flowers which may fade and change over time. My principal aim is to inspire viewers to look closely at the humble wonders of nature, recognising that “weeds” are wildflowers and encouraging an emotional connection to nature.
