Relief carving: Quaking Grass, Bee Orchid, Twayblade Orchid, Brown Meadow Butterfly and Bumblebee. I’ve aimed to carve some of what you might see in a meadow in June. It’s encapsulated within the hand-carved pebble and surrounded by letters to reflect the very limited space of meadow in the UK, ‘Meadows and other species-rich grasslands now cover less than 1% of the UK. Inadequate protection, changing farming practices and a lack of public awareness has caused 97% (7.5 million acres) to be lost in less than a century’ (Plantlife 2021)

Size: 400 x 280 mm. Hand-shaped and carved slate. Location: House
