Why did you make this work:
The brief was to illustrate an article about meteorite fossils in New Scientist magazine. “Fossil Meteorites are probably the hardest geological treasure to discover. But a spate of recent finds are revealing surprises about Earth’s deep history”.

How was the illustration used:
to accompany an article in a monthly magazine entitled 'fossil meteorites'

How did you make this work:
This was a great opportunity to explore a hidden world using 3D layering techniques . This was the first time I have employed the use of laser and hand-cut wooden and paper shapes for a commercial project. It had to be quite deep to highlight a hidden prehistoric world within the meteorite. The pieces were individually cut, hand painted and placed in staggered positions to create a depth.
