MARIANNE NORTH

The project generated digital and printable learning resources and creative packs to encourage audiences to stay home during the pandemic and encourage them to get outdoors and enjoy their local green spaces.

bOTANICALS

Collage over-painted with spray paint, these original works are a neon homage to Marianne North and the Victorian’s love for early Cyanotype photography.
