Celebrating Biodiversity

Havingresearched and considered how biodiversity affects human life, I decided tofocus on the cultural and aesthetic value of biodiversity and how it continuesto inspire human creative endeavour. I specifically explored the colour,texture and surface-pattern of various animals.

The shape ofthe stamps was influenced by my research - a hexagon being a common occurrencein the natural world: think honeycomb, the plates of a turtle's shell, theGiant's Causeway etc. The splashes of paint are a reminder of elementary humancreativity and offer a vehicle in which to display magnificent examples of thecreative diversity of nature.
