Artist: Lyndi Sales
'I find beauty in the engravings of 17th century botanical artists' says South African artist Lyndi Sales, very much a 21st century artist more known for her contemporary multi-dimensional installations. For this series of Florals, Lyndi took inspiration from Basilius Besler. She prints her own copper-plate engravings onto handmade paper from a local mill. The resulting print is hand coloured, signed, numbered and embossed with her unique stamp. 'The printing process itself is meditative, almost mesmeric. But what I really love is the actual engraving - searching through ancient images for inspiration, doing my research into the plants I am depicting and choosing the final colours for each work,' she says.
