For over fifteen years, Alice Channer has been creating sculptures representing nature in various states of transformation. This catalogue accompanies her 2025 exhibition at the Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia, where her sculpture Megaflora (2021) is presented in the museum's gardens.
The book is designed by Edi Winarni with a cheeky nod to Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, and includes artist-designed endpapers.
Alice Channer: Megaflora features a specially commissioned photographic image sequence by Thierry Bal, documenting writer Louisa Buck's first tattoo, commissioned to mark her 64th birthday, inked by Eric the Viking following lines drawn by the artist over the s t r e t c h e d machined thorns and pleats of the sculpture Megaflora. The Image sequence is accompanied by a new text from Louisa Buck.
Also included are three specially commissioned essays on Megaflora in the provocative context of Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia, by Luca Mizan, Jacopo Galimberti and Harry Woodlock, alongside photographic documentation of Megaflora and related sculptures.
