Life in Death is the most comprehensive collection to date of work by artist Rebecca Louise Law. The book documents the evolution of Law-s unique artistic practice, the use of flowers as preserved sculptural material. A journey through the earliest experiments, to her best known immersive installations, via a series of beautifully documented photographs. It also provides a unique insight into the life and influences of the artist, including an introduction written by Law. The title culminates with exclusive imagery of Life in Death, Law-s forthcoming exhibition showcasing a sculptural installation at the heart of Kew-s Shirley Sherwood Gallery, which pays homage to the expertise in preservation presented throughout Kew''s collections and represents a symbol of natural durability which is central to Law''s practice. Life in Death runs from 7 October 2017 - 11 March 2018 in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
