‘Zoonomia’ is inspired by the title of Erasmus Darwin’s 18th Century book of the same title. Erasmus Darwin lived in Lichfield and was a founding member of the Lunar Society. Erasmus was Charles Darwin’s Grandfather and his ideas foreshadowed modern theories of evolution. The design is a fun take on the theme with various colourful animal, bird and insect markings morphing into each other across the surface of the sculpture.
