Spirit Collection

This work is inspired by the plant specimens in the herbarium collections of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh that are too fragile to be pressed and dried, so are instead stored in spirit within glass jars. Lorna has placed porcelain forms inspired by conifers inside bespoke acrylic boxes and attached in such a way that they give a sense that they are floating within the box. They are handbuilt using porcelain clay.
