Bird in a Bell Jar: nature bound and bottled

This exhibition of etchings and gouache paintings depicts a sequence of botanical and animal specimens that reflect on our relationship with the natural world. Presenting a compendium of small ecologies held in glass containers or in the pages of books, these delicate environments suggest the vulnerability, complexity and current fragility of our natural systems.
