How did you make this work:
We might pass these spaces everyday, but rarely stop and look. I designed the prints as narrow landscapes to create a visual journey, so the viewer experiences them as they might in real life: first we see large or dramatic animals, but a closer look shows the huge diversity of other wildlife. The series was meticulously researched via local Wildlife Trust courses & the UK Biodiversity Framework.
