Mat Collishaw presents 'Petrichor', a new exhibition at Kew Gardens

BGUK_2754696 - The new exhibition runs from 20 October to 7 April 2024 in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art. 'Petrichor' showcases new commissions alongside existing works, drawing an array of evocative imagery from the natural world. ' Albion' takes the form of an intricate 19th-century 'Pepper's Ghost' illusion, that depicts a large-scale depiction of the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, estimated to be over 800 years old. This almost life-sized animation has been captured using a laser scanner, creating the eerie spectre of a tree suspended somewhere between life and death.
