I have just received a copy of the impressive catalog of "Plumes du Paradis" (Plumes of Paradise) exhibition at the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac in Paris, which explores the cultural and environmental colonial journey of birds of paradise from New Guinea to the world.
While in Milan last autumn, I had the great pleasure of meeting botanical artist Margherita Leoni, who has been leading illustration courses at the Orto Botanico di Brera since 2000.
In her work, attention becomes a form of care that through observation acan instill ways of deepening our relationship with the natural world.
