Pressed-clay botanical specimens in flat-relief like a 19th-century herbarium done in plasticine, top-down ochre and sage palette

Hana studied botanical illustration in Zagreb and worked for a small natural history museum cataloguing pressed flowers. She started flattening clay between glass plates after a flood ruined the herbarium archive. She believes a specimen page should feel slightly tired, slightly dignified.
