An intriguing and enchanting new installation titled "Blue butterfly larvae live underground with ants, who feed and look after them. Then they fly away as butterflies," Employing a full-scale photographic reproduction of the Museum's tiled Lower Gallery floor, Emily Campbell offers the viewer a glimpse into a fantastic, subterranean world.

Floor-tiles are illusionistically fractured to expose the gallery's foundations, and beyond this, a vast chasm opens up revealing a parallel world where exotic bugs consort, and form unexpected liaisons, with familiar beasts.

Beneath the floor of the gallery lies the Natural History store rooms, the installation cracks the museum open to reveal the space below, the bugs and small animals eat their way through the floor.

Campbell wants the work to draw the viewer into what appears, at first, as an empty gallery, only to envelope the unsuspecting viewer with a dramatic vista offered by the rupture of the gallery floor.
