Enigma Variations

Unexpected juxtapositions: where antique artefacts have a poetic dialogue with the natural. 



Due to the fragility of the glass dome and its contents we have reluctantly decided not to offer a delivery service on this creation. Please purchase and arrange collection with the gallery. Thank you.
