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 12 Florals Lyndi took inspiration from Basilius Besler. Lyndi prints her own copper-plate engravings onto handmade paper from her local mill. The resulting print is then hand coloured, signed, numbered and embossed with her own 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.
