Wind - botanical ink drawing by Manda Lane in Collingwood
Wind - botanical ink drawing
Created from ink, this artwork features native Australian botanicals in bold black and white.
This artwork was created in a series of similar works, seeking to explore the basic shapes and line details of Australian flora.
Manda Lane is a botanical mural and paste-up artist, working out of Everfresh Studios in Collingwood, Melbourne.
In her public art practice, Manda plays with the urban environment, often using art to re-insert nature back into inner-city locations, and creating work that celebrates the often under-appreciated plants and weeds.
Inspired by early scientific illustrations of plants, coupled with modern tattoo design, Manda works predominantly in a monochromatic palette, while aiming to bring a contemporary, delicate and stylised approach to botanical art.
Manda’s previous mural work includes painting weeds at the National Gallery of Victoria (2022/23, Temple of Boom), within Dorsett Hotel, the side of buildings in inner-Melbourne as well as central NSW. She has also been commissioned by Visit Victoria, Officeworks, Ritz Carlton Hotel, local councils and private commissions. However in her spare moments, she can be found lurking with paint or glue amongst the weeds in quiet laneways.
