A Year in the Wild by Helen Ahpornsiri
Discover the four seasons in spell-binding detail, brought to life in art made entirely from pressed flowers and leaves. Artist Helen Ahpornsiri transforms petals, leaves and seeds into bounding hares, swooping swallows and fluttering butterflies. Turn the page to watch flowers unfold, see birds take flight or peek inside animal homes. Marvel at the magic of each moment and rediscover the wonders of a year in the wild . . .
'Helen Ahpornsiri's A Year in the Wild is a meditative wander through the seasons, with text that feels as if it should be voiced by David Attenborough, and quietly spectacular artwork' -- Imogen Russell-Williams * The Guardian *
An extraordinarily beautiful celebration of nature through the year, using nature itself * Juno magazine *

Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK.
