I have been exploring the Natural History Museum as a visual and narrative source. My figurines depict some of the natural historians who helped create the specimen collection in the Darwin Centre. I have captured and preserved them in a moment of discovery.


The giant squid is housed in the same area of the museum, and my wall pieces explore different aspects of the squid: its elusive underwater life, its immobile scientific preservation in death and the potency it loses between our imagining of a mythical monster and its physical reality.
