Sophie Cook (Blue and Gold Botanics)
Each piece is an original botanical cyanotype, created using natural material I have grown or collected. I am trained in horticulture and plant science, and so the work grows out of a detailed exploration of the botanical features of the plants. I use liquid gold leaf to highlight the form of the plants. The work produced follows three main themes. The first is a modern take of the traditional herbarium-style of the 1800’s, the second the artist examines the form of the plants and the patterns these create, and the third are ecologically informed landscapes.
