Brimstone to Orange Tip (25 snails for 25 years in 25 seconds for DA)

Teetering up, unstable, waiting to collapse, the un-natural arrangement imposed on the exo-shelters moves at speed.
What’s wrong with slow, take your time, stay. Time passes slowly (down here in the garden). Evolution takes time, wrong turns and dead ends. Colour will need to change to keep up with the future, keep your eyes on stalks to receive it.

Finlay Taylor works with snails, books, butterflies, print, caterpillars, drawing, woodlice, moving image, pupae, wood, colour and glue. He lives and works in London and his practice looks at natural history and specific species it cannot escape entanglement with environmental issues, it doesn’t want to.
He has exhibited widely and has curated exhibitions that look at landscape and environment often collaborating with others. His works are held in collections including Tate Special Collections, National Art Library V&A Museum, Oxford Brookes, Poetry Library London, British Library, and Yale Collection.
