Rachel Berwick: au naturel



Its truly amazing how many links lead to incredible artists that don't get nearly enough recognition. I stumbled across Rachel Berwick's magnificence via flickr (the mother ship hermetic genius). 
I've always considered myself to be an "indoor cat" seeing as my relationship with technology brings out my most maternal caution and affection but I was captivated by Berwick's work. Her pieces will make you want to go to the rain forest- or at least google it to remind you how incredible it is. Her work is essentially focused on wildlife and fossils preserved in cast crystal and amber- obviously. She has covered plenty of exotic species like maypure parrots, passenger pigeons, tasmanian tigers (where did those guys come from?) and the infamous tortoise, "lonesome george," of the galapagos islands. Check it out folks.
