Treasure

This collection of unique botanical sculptures of common wildflowers, accurate in size, structure and colour; is displayed in a custom-made, transparent, Perspex jewellery style box with drawers, compartments and an open lid. The flowers are handmade using traditional wax modelling techniques, from beeswax samples which contain pesticide residues. The beeswax was collected and analysed by scientists at Cornell University, New York.
