Flowering branches reach across the surface, their forms borrowed from Van Gogh's 1890 Almond Blossom—painted for his newborn nephew in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The artist rendered Prunus dulcis with Japanese compositional influence, branches diagonal against flat colour fields.
The pattern preserves Van Gogh's characteristic brushwork: visible strokes defining petals, impasto texture suggested through printing, colour applied with painterly freedom rather than botanical precision. Branches cross the composition at dynamic angles, white or pale pink blossoms clustered along dark limbs. Four colourways reinterpret the original: beige grounds reference Japanese woodblock prints and suit minimal interiors, whilst bolder pink, red, and blue variations intensify chromatic impact. The design balances delicacy—five-petalled blossoms, slender twigs—with structural strength from substantial branches anchoring composition.
Printed in Cornwall with attention to reproducing brushstroke texture and colour layering that distinguishes fine art reproduction from flat graphic interpretation.
Branch adapts across diverse spaces due to its dual character: sophisticated enough for living areas, gentle enough for nurseries. The beige colourway integrates into Japandi aesthetics emphasizing natural materials and restraint. Bolder versions suit feature walls where art reference becomes deliberate focal point. Scale accommodates both intimate and expansive rooms.

Botanical Prints: From Pressed Specimens To Contemporary Wallpaper
Botanical illustration began as scientific documentation, artists translating three-dimensional plants into flat images serving both informational and aesthetic purposes. This exploration traces the journey from pressed herbarium specimens and watercolour expeditions to contemporary wallpaper, examining how printing techniques evolved from copperplate engraving through William Morris' screen printing to digital reproduction whilst maintaining essential character: beauty emerging from accuracy rather than imposed upon it.

Woven Ground: The Cultural Geography of Handmade Rugs
Handwoven rugs carry geography in their fibres. The wool came from specific mountains where specific plants fed specific sheep; the dyes derive from regional botanicals; the patterns preserve cultural memory encoded in visual language. From Persian workshop medallions to Berber mountain abstractions to Scandinavian restraint, each tradition represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, techniques refined through generations. This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
