To celebrate the partnership between London Heathrow Airport and Kew Gardens, Vanessa was commissioned to create a massive 20 ft wide botanical tapestry. By using a range of artisanal techniques such as latch hooking, felt needling, craving, and crochet, she outlined a textural surface to imitate a World Map.

Diverse climates and topography are represented by the group of yarns. Australia and Africa are in warm colors, whereas the rainforests in South America and the peak of the highest mountain in Central Asia are decorated with furry deep greens and coiling crocheted ridges. Vanessa integrated plants into the artwork, such as Chinese Ginkgo Biloba, European lady’s-slipper orchid, and African coffee. The process of weaving the tapestry took 520 hours with deploying 8kg of jute and cotton as well as 42kg of recycled wool. The work is on view at the Heathrow Airport Terminal 2 departure area, echoing the global travelers. 

Vanessa created a series of mini botanical tapestries using the same techniques and recycled materials from this commissioned work.

为庆祝伦敦希思罗机场和伦敦皇家植物园达成合作，艺术家受委托制作了一幅20 英尺宽的巨大植物主题挂毯。她通过使用一系列手工技术，如钩针、毡针、雕刻和钩针，勾勒出了一个纹理表面来模仿世界地图。

纱线组代表了不同的气候和地形。澳大利亚和非洲采用暖色调，而南美洲的热带雨林和中亚最高的山峰则装饰着毛茸茸的深绿色和盘绕的钩针山脊。 艺术家将中国银杏、欧洲瓢虫兰、非洲咖啡等植物融入艺术作品中。编织挂毯的过程耗时 520 小时，使用了 8 公斤黄麻和棉花以及 42 公斤再生羊毛。该作品在希思罗机场 2 号航站楼出发区展出，与全球旅行者隔空对话。 

Vanessa 使用与这项委托作品相同的技术和回收材料制作了一系列迷你植物主题挂毯。
