Artist Proof, Studio Condition, Face Mounted in Duraclear, Toughened Low Iron Glass
Janet Laurence’s In Your Verdant View invites you into a suspended space where art and nature quietly converge. Botanical fragments appear preserved within layers of glass, creating a delicate interplay between translucency and reflection. The work captures a sense of time held still - offering both the intimacy of a pressed specimen and the expansiveness of a living landscape.
Studio-perfect and crystal clear, it embodies Laurence’s meditative approach to our relationship with the environment. Poetic and archival, it invites slow looking and quiet contemplation, drawing the viewer closer to the fragile beauty of the natural world and the urgent need to protect it.
