Natural History Dome XIX - Chalk Hill Blues
Natural History Collection
My third Collection of work, these pieces have taken many months to create. From conceptualisation in mid-2023, through months of sourcing antique entomology collections and painstaking restorations to finally building replica habitats inspired by Victorian museum displays.
The colour palettes of the florals are influenced by the Norfolk countryside where I live. I have been collecting and drying flowers since the spring for these pieces. Some insects in these pieces date back as far as the late 1800’s, although most are between 70-50 years old. Each piece will come with details of the insects and their origins.
Dome dimensions 7cm height x 6cm (2.6”x2.4”). Glass removed for photos to avoid glare, will be shipped with glass dome.
