Sleuths, Spies and Lies

 For this project I have decided to investigate the Botanical Collection at the Manchester Museum. My research began with visiting the museum’s collection and drawing and photographing some of my favourite plants and botanical forms. I have also looked at some of the drawings that artist Ernst Haeckel made in his Art Form in Nature collection. I also made studies at home, drawing from botanical forms that I’ve seen. I became interested in onions and the shapes inside them especially.
