A Taxonomy The underlying idea for this work is thinking about loss and extinction. How I might look back and remember the pulchritude of objects sought and collected from fascinating places. Objects that are the ecological canary in the coalmine. How will we recognise future beauty? I am interested in the tension and exchange between science and art. The work appears as a Victorian amateur scholar collection of scientific specimens of natural curiosities, recognisable but slightly subverted objects of sea organisms. They are ...
