RE WILDING IOWA | Private Commission.
This commission was inspired by the Prairies of Iowa where the family that commissioned it are working to conserve a large piece of land, helping to reinstating the Prairie wildlife. Each frame represented a different season and included favourite and native species that could be found around their land. I arranged them between four frames making up a much larger display that captures the feeling of the changing seasons and the cyclical nature of the natural world.
The piece took around 4 months to complete from our initial conversations about ideas and inspirations. There was a lot of planning needed for a display this large and it took a while to work out which species were a good fit for the space as well as being able to work together to capture the feel of each season.
