Mary Delany – ‘Paper Mosaicks’
Posted by Angie Lewin

It wasn’t until Mary Delany was in her 70s that she first picked up a pair of scissors and began cutting intricate shapes from coloured tissue papers which she mounted strikingly onto dense black backgrounds. The hundreds of collages which she created are the most beautifully coloured and botanically accurate plant portraits. Her ‘paper mosaiks’ are the highlight of an exhibition at Sir John Soane’s Museum (which is an inspiring place to visit in itself).

Opens 19th February 2010 and runs until 10th May 2010. Tuesday-Sat from 10am - 5pm. Admission free

Sir John Soane's Museum, 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3BP.Website: www.soane.org
