into the arid zone

The work table in the studio is full of wonderful thorny specimens from the botanical gardens.

Handle with care!

thorny poetry

For the month of April I will be in the arid zone.......

I am meeting Steve,the supervisor of this area of the botanical gardens,  on Friday. I will be focusing on Southern African succulents and have some ideas for 'arid zone inspired' sculptures. I'm excited!
