Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the composition weaves together references to Black Rock City, kink culture, sensory play and the natural world, alongside nods to iconic works including Francisco de Goya's La Maja Desnuda. Much like Bosch's celebrated triptych, the piece rewards close inspection, with interconnected scenes and hidden details gradually revealing themselves.

Jacquie Lawson –  Svetlana Molodchenko (Design Projects, Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Svetlana was commissioned to create an intricate hand-painted alphabet inspired by the natural world. Drawing influence from 'Mira calligraphiae monumenta' and the ornate illustrations of Joris Hoefnagel, Svetlana developed each letter as its own balanced composition, pairing flora and fauna with beauty and detail.

Amaryllis, artichoke and Adonis blue butterflies appear in 'A', while camellias, chestnuts and common blue butterflies form part of 'C'.

Created entirely by hand using traditional materials and illumination techniques, the project took several months to complete, resulting in a collection that feels timeless and jewel-like.
