作者简介

Katie Scott于2011年毕业于布莱顿大学。她的作品吸引了来自传统医学和植物学插图家的关注，无论是在审美和题材。她的插图描绘了植物、人类和矿物的熟悉而又虚幻的景象.

Illustrator: Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work draws influences from traditional medical and botanical illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants, humans and minerals.
