Handmade Habitats (3D Boxes)

Hand painted wooden, lidded boxes that depict a range of ecological niches. They are a synthesis of research, observation and craft from a lifetime of watching nature in a variety of environments. Each one is unique and painted on all sides in acrylic through a patient layering of brush marks and glazes. The sides develop organically to create habitats that are focused and meditative reflections of the natural world – much of which is under threat or already in sharp decline.
