Flora: A Frozen English Garden
By Marisa Culatto, Eduardo Barba
Publisher: Black Dog Press, 2023
Flora: A Frozen English Garden presents artist Marisa Culatto’s Flora series from a botanical perspective, with texts by botanical researcher and landscape gardener Eduardo Barba.
Flora: A Frozen English Garden is presented in 35 chapters – one for each work in the Flora series. In addition to the artwork itself, each section includes botanical content: Barba writes about a single plant from the relevant work and, as the plants in Flora are encased in ice and are not always clearly visible, Anna’s illustration provides an accurate depiction of the chosen plant.
I created 35 illustrations of plants from Marisa’s garden featured in the series.
