Elspeth Diederix’s Florals series comments on the human desire to gain control over nature. But in this age of genetic modification, what exactly is ‘nature’?

Alluding to biotechnology’s power to enhance nature, in this work Diederix makes some of her own enhancements. With the help of paint, felt tips and transparent adhesive tape, the exotic flowers in this picture have been embellished with additional colour and details.
