DESCRIPTION: This series reflects Jonathan Charles’ fascination with the union of craftsmanship, scholarship, and beauty. Four prints draw from antique botanical engravings originally created to record medicinal plants, recalling a time when art and science were inseparable and knowledge was preserved through precision and grace. Printed on Awagami Bizan handmade Japanese paper from the Fujimori family mill in Tokushima, the works gain subtle texture, depth, and a sense of historical continuity rooted in centuries of papermaking tradition. Minimalist glass-backed frames introduce light and transparency, allowing the surrounding space to complete the composition. Together, the collection reimagines early botanical study as refined decorative art — bridging heritage and modernity with quiet authority.
