The Cornish Ecosystem
Cornwall’s coastal ecosystem is a living microcosm; where maritime air, mineral soils, woodland edges, and tidal habitats converge. This convergence creates unusual botanical diversity, allowing plants from varied lineages to adapt side by side. Shaped by wind, salt, and shifting light, it is a landscape where balance is earned through resilience.
From the artist
Coastal blues and warm copper accents pay homage to Cornwall's maritime, mineral and mining heritage.
