Charles Darwin

Additional Information
The collage featuring Charles Darwin is the result of Chetwynd’s long fascination with the naturalist, beginning when she was a teenager reading, The Voyage of the Beagle. Both a scientific journal and a vivid travel memoir, The Voyage of the Beagle, published in 1839, aroused international interest at the time and has remained a popular read for audiences beyond academia. For Chetwynd, documentaries which portrayed Darwin as a family man as well as details of his creative approach to science solidified her fascination. She was particularly inspired by the fact that Darwin played the tuba to earthworms in his garden to observe their reactions to sound.
Charles Darwin, 2020 and Steve Irwin, 2020 are sold individually. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and comes unframed.
