Works are about plant specimens from Charles Darwin’s herbarium. I was interested in the way those plants are arranged on a sheet of paper. The method is called “collation” which shows similarities, differences and patterns. Each sheet gives us information about life like a fossil does and it also makes up a part of a large jigsaw puzzle.
