CANOPY - 2008

Solo exhibition in the Nash Conservatory, Kew Gardens, for the Year of the Tree Festival. The space became an oversized wunderkammer featuring highly magnified coloured micrographs of pollen, seeds, fruit and leaves. A series of silk banners printed with cellular structures of stained wood specimens hung from the glass roof like oversized microscope slides. In the centre a vitrine of fragments from the artists studio became an arboreal cabinet of curiosities.
