古典主义的黑暗色调配上极简主义的构图与器皿，还带着点腐朽气息的质感，让人忍不住为之着迷。我也听闻他会为了一个作品捉摸数周，雕琢再雕琢，只为构建出最和谐完美的画面。
“I make terrariums simply because I want to, because it is pleasurable to do so. They express my love of plants and of life itself; they express my appreciation for the gift of the creativity with which I have been bestowed. They are not just about making things look nice or enticing so that people will want to buy them and keep Hermetica London going as a business, but I don’t mind if they succeed on that level too.”
“我制作盆栽（terrariums）单纯地因为我想要这么做，因为这么做会让我很开心。它们表达了我对植物和生活本身的热爱；它们表达了我对自己被赠予的创造力的感激之情。它们的存在并不只是因为我想做出一些好看或者有吸引力的东西，让别人把它们买回家，并使hermetica london（＊作者在伦敦的花艺美学店）变成一门生意。当然我也不排斥它可以取得那种商业层面的成功。”（翻译来自美美滴Ciel)
