Remnants: Observations and Specimens by Rhiannon Alpers -SOLD OUT!
Sold
Remnants brings the world of four women naturalists to life and re-frames their stories in a more personal context. The specimens included and documented in the piece open the door into the world these women wandered and wondered in. They offer a tangible and personal connection to the the discoveries and observations these women made. Remnants is a quest to find a new perspective by viewing nature through their lens, and to better understand their world by examining our own.
