Year in the Wild

Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK.

'Helen Ahpornsiri's A Year in the Wild is a meditative wander through the seasons, with text that feels as if it should be voiced by David Attenborough, and quietly spectacular artwork'
