Inspiration
This artwork was inspired by English author, illustrator, conservationist and mycologist Beatrix Potter.

Beloved by generations of readers, she was best known for her children's books, such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." Potter had a deep appreciation of nature and her passion for the natural world played a major role in her life and work. She was an advocate for preserving the natural world and her books featured themes of conservation and environmentalism.

She also had a keen interest in the study of mushrooms and other fungi. She was a member of the british mycological society and her illustrations and scientific drawings of mushrooms and other fungi were highly respected by her peers.

Technique
The Tale Beatrix Potter was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photographs and illustrations of flower specimens, animals, butterflies and birds referenced from characters in her books.

After coating the handmade paper and watercolour sheets with light-sensitive chemistry, they are left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negatives are then contact printed onto the paper by exposing to daylight (UV rays). The prints are then processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution. It can then be hung to dry, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours. Once dried the individual component parts are cut out and mounted onto the print to create a multi-layered, 3-dimensional artwork.
