Wanneroo Regional Gallery has partnered with the British Museum to bring the work of one of the United Kingdom’s true artistic innovators to Australia for the first time.
Delivered in partnership with the British Museum, The Botanical World of Mary Delany runs from 4 February to 9 May 2026, showcasing 21 high-resolution images of Delany’s pioneering and inspirational “paper mosaiks” of plants and flowers.
Aged in her 70s, Delany invented a unique form of papercutting and decoupage. Ultimately, she created about 1,000 intricate illustrations of botanical specimens.
Often mistaken for watercolours, these works are in fact meticulously constructed paper collages – a striking fusion of art and science.
The exhibition’s high-resolution photographs allow visitors to explore Delany’s creative process and remarkable skill in a way that is difficult to replicate in real life due to the minute detail and extreme fragility of the collages.
Adding a contemporary dimension, professional Perth creatives Samuel Beilby, Lucy Dougan, Savannah Matthews and aromatherapist Donna Cochrane will present new works responding to Delany’s oeuvre (body of works).
