This is my very first podcast! I was recently interviewed by Mansur Gharabaghi about my work as an artist and climate pact ambassador. Most of all it is about looking at the little things, plants, rocks and trees.

I was in London to collect my artwork after it was exhibited in the Royal Academy. Of course this was an excuse to also visit some amazing art including Tate Modern with this flint installation by Richard Long.

Recently I had a wonderful experience of fulfilling an ambition to view the Maria Sibylla Merian book: Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium. In the collection of @rijksmuseum.bsky.social Wow! Many thanks to the library staff for making this possible.

This is my new Nettle book, the cover is based on a book from 1369 in the collection of the Gruuthusemuseum Bruges. The contents are inspired by the 17th century herbaria in the Royal Library of Belgium.

I have been reinterpreting 17th century herbaria from the collections of the Royal Library of Belgium. It was both a joy and a privilege to work with them. This is the “pages” series, studying stinging nettles. #stingingnettles #reliefprint #watercolour
