Ecosystem Engineers

The series is called ‘The Engineers’ and is inspired by our planet's Ecosystem engineers. These are species that modify their environment in a significant manner, creating new habitats or modifying existing ones to suit their needs. Through their activities ecosystem engineers significantly affect other species by providing and maintaining microhabitats that would not otherwise exist.

Darcey created a series dedicated to different species around the world that may be known for their size, beauty and/or even their regularity, but less known for their support of an array of wildlife and for the planet's wellbeing. These pieces were displayed in the Farnham Museum as part of a solo gallery exhibition.
