Scalpel-drawn This book-bound drawing was inspired 203NATURE PROFILES

by the story of a foreign butterfly wrongly introduced scalpel,
source
to Great Britain in 1912, then hunted down and

destroyed. Ideas of introduction and removal led

Clare Bryan to research historical plans and aerial

drawings of London showing its population growth

since Roman times. On turning the pages of City,

progressively more and more paper is drawn away

with a scalpel to show the expansion of human

settlement around the river. The edges of each page

(cropped here) fade into the solid paper of an

unpopulated landscape.
