OPENING today at the Eagle Gallery in London EC1, the exhibition Natural Histories explores "how contemporary artists are referencing traditions associated with 17th and 18th century botanicals, herbariums and natural histories, to comment on current economic and environmental issues." One of the six artists is Mich Maroney (1's 73-78), whose Solstice is a photographic record of a nature reserve, inspired by medieval books of hours and the Garden Kalendar of Gilbert White; it documents the passing of time through the changing atmosphere of weather, landscape and tides.
