A unique botanical sculpture of the Forget-me-not (Myosotis arvensis), with multiple flowers, seed heads, leaves and roots, accurately reproducing the plant in size, structure and colour. It is part of the Life Support series. The Forget-me-not is made using traditional wax modelling techniques from beeswax, paraffin wax, mixed media and finished with acrylic paints and varnishes. Mounted on a circular, solid, custom lathed stainless-steel base, inside a hand-blown glass orb cover.
