‘Essence of Nature’

£875.00

In this recent piece of work, Shauna was inspired by beetles and their importance in the natural world. Given that forty percent of all insects on earth are beetles, it’s no surprise that they assist in the pollination of a large number of crops. Leanne added to this piece enamelled, etched copper leaves to represent the depletion of our forests, which are a crucial means of food and shelter for the insect population.

It is up to each individual to refuse to accept this downward slope and to make a difference to our environment in any way they can.

Mediums: copper sheet, copper foil and vitreous enamel.
