Visionary stage designer and artist Es Devlin meets biologist and author Merlin Sheldrake (Entangled Life) to discuss drawing, ecology and perception. The conversation begins with Devlin’s observational drawings of 243 of London’s most endangered species, and how the act of drawing became a profound meditation on interconnection and the natural world.

This conversation is part of our 25th anniversary series of conversations with leading artists and creatives exploring how drawing shapes creative practice across disciplines.

Join some of the world’s most visionary artists, designers, writers and thinkers as they reflect on the role of drawing in their work, from painting, performance and design to storytelling, architecture and science.
