The Orchid Show 2025: Rebecca Louise Law

An immersive art installation featuring thousands of hand-strung preserved flowers suspended throughout the Museum of Botany & the Arts. British contemporary artist Rebecca Louise Law creates large-scale installations where natural materials are hand-sewn onto copper wire and suspended from gallery walls, creating an ethereal experience where viewers navigate around and through them, discovering colors, textures and smells. The installation incorporates approximately 2,500 specimens of preserved flowers and leaves collected locally, paired with lush living orchid displays curated by Selby's horticulture team.
