Nascency

This was the central piece to my Voyage of Discovery Exhibition in 2009. Really the culmination of the Darwin project. It is a piece of work entitled “Nascency” - meaning the initial stage of a developmental process, the beginning, birth, commencement, origin . . .

I am enormously proud that this work was purchased by Mike Akam, Head of Zoology at the University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge and it now hangs in his office there. The Museum houses many of Darwin’s original specimens which were brought or sent back from his Voyage on the Beagle, and which he, Darwin, had catalogued and annotated himself.
