About this artwork

A nocturnal climber that takes root in cloud rather than soil.

Why we chose it

What drew us in was the discipline of the composition: the plant is carefully observed, but the page still has atmosphere. We chose it for a room that wants colour with structure—over a desk, beside a reading chair, or as part of a collected wall.

About the work

Catalogue Entry The Moonflower has never been observed rooted in soil. Every authenticated specimen has been recovered suspended beneath compact masses of cloud, its pale blossoms opening only after sunset and closing before the first hint of dawn. The mechanism by which the plant draws nourishment remains unresolved. This plate was prepared to record the mature flowering stage in full, including the distinctive cloud-root structure omitted from earlier botanical surveys. The remarkable condition of the specimen allowed every vein, tendril and blossom to be documented without artistic reconstruction. Registrar's Notes Several expeditions have attempted to cultivate the species at ground level. None have reported success. Print Specification Museum-quality giclée print produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm.
A3 (29.7 × 42 cm / 11.7 × 16.5 in). This is an original Museum of Imagined Worlds plate, created for our imagined archive of images that sit between record and invention.
