Louisa Crispin

Lost in a world of intricate observations from nature, Louisa is entranced by the cycle of growth and decay. It’s quiet in her Kent studio as she looks ever closer at the flora and fauna. Texture, shadows, silhouettes and movement created with graphite marks and tone, it’s rarely about the colour but always about the environment. Her drawings explore the materiality of medium whilst largely considering the plight of less popular insects. Aiming to encourage open discussion, the narrative is focused on wildlife corridors: the importance of a network of routes between habitats to broaden diversity and combat nature depletion.
