Fragile Nature - Janet Howkins Solo Show
 

Fragile Nature is a complex interplay of sensory experiences, emotions, cultural influences, and personal connections. The natural world acts as a canvas upon which our memories are painted, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that are deeply intertwined with the beauty and diversity of plants and flowers.  The journey of memories through botanicals is a collection of botanical casts creating a captivating and meaningful experience that bridges the gap between nature, creativity, and personal recollections. 

 

The collection of work has taken 12 months to create. Working alongside the Friends of Fletcher Moss Park and Parsonage Gardens, the casts tell the stories of The Old Parsonage gardens.  Capturing the memories and seasonal changes of a much loved historical place.  Part of the exhibition also features a botanical remembrance wall which holds a series of casts, each in tribute to special memories of loved ones for all the families that Janet has supported and created work for over the last 12 months.
