The Jar is painted on an antique print of an unusual work by the Dutch botanist and anatomist Frederik Ruysch, who developed a technique for preserving specimens. What made him so remarkable was that he decorated the jars in which he kept the animals, turning them into small works of art. The original jars no longer exist. My work is a delicate homage to a man who, through science and art, captured the fleeting essence of beauty in glass.
