Alien Botany is an ongoing multimedia concept series. This project was conceived at the intersection of Soviet space obsession, the speculation in bygone scientific illustration, and the beauty and horror of the natural world.

DISAPPEARING ART DEPOT

Alien Botany Dossier || Artist Bio + CV

2174 AD. Five years ago, a shipwrecked cosmonaut from the exploratory mission, Novy Mir, documented the flora of an unknown planet in quadrant NQ3 while waiting for a rescue team. Her notes and sketches were found inside a charred capsule adrift in the Arctic Ocean. The scientific community, awed by what she discovered, has been attempting to decode her diagrams ever since. As reconstruction continues in laboratories worldwide, we are pleased to display a handful of her findings here.
