Helen Taylor’s work is inspired by well-known botanical and architectural ‘meeting’ places and by her garden. She portrays the plants as they grow in a collection curated by the gardener, in a human-made landscape. ‘Bred in Captivity, Sheffield Beauties’ is inspired by The Palm House at Sheffield Botanical Gardens, a truly beautiful place. Initially Taylor planned only one print, but decided then to make a Triptych, although each print is a standalone artwork, they can be hung together as each image flows into the next. The Palm House is divided into sections so this arrangement echoes the actual planting. An underlying principle of Taylor’s work is ‘What do we have to lose’, with threats to our natural world from changing climate and habitat loss meaning many plants may become ‘Bred in Captivity.’
