A zoom so far into the green that the cabinet underneath has disappeared, grown over until you cannot find it.

A lush green botanical watercolour, turned into an archival fine art print. It is a zoom into Green Cabinet, into the green that was already taking the top of it, opened up and walked into. There are no shelves left to see. The cabinet is still under there, the same order and structure, but the growth has covered it completely, and not being able to find it is the point.

It is about the one thing nature always does, which is grow and cover everything. Nothing in it is fixed. Where the first cabinet holds a year perfectly still, this one will not hold still at all; it feels as though it could grow overnight and be different by morning.

The whole picture is green, every value from near-black to the freshest light green, and it breathes at a single point: the warm peach-red rose at the centre, where the eye lands. It was painted by dropping pigment into water and letting it move, lifting some leaves out with the corner of a tissue, dropping water back into others so they dried with hard edges, the highlights pulled up in white gouache.

Look for the insects, ten of them in all. The lacewing and the leaf insect were here, in the garden, before I ever lifted them out onto white as Specimens, and there are bees among them. On the 17-centimetre-square original the smallest are under 5 millimetres, so finding all ten takes a slow eye. Everything else the cabinets are full of is in here too, the quotes and the pictures-within-pictures, but grown over and out of sight.

It is the one you do not have to read. The other cabinets are rooms of memory you look into; this is a living thing you keep beside you, an evergreen on the wall, the green world we actually live in, close enough to step into.

Printed to order on Hahnemühle German Etching, a heavyweight 310gsm mould-made fine art paper, acid- and lignin-free to museum standard, with archival pigment inks. A giclée from an original watercolour by Léna Ruisz, never a mass reproduction, colour-managed to stay true to the original painting.

No frame is forced on you, so choose the size that fits your wall.

You are buying the fine art print only. The frame shown in the product image, and any mount, furniture, plants or other props in the photographs, are there to show scale and setting. They are not included in your purchase.
