Herb Planting




The Benham Galley Exhibition+Work in Progress



The exhibition from my month long artist-residency at Cuckoo Farm Studios. During the month I used plants and recycled materials from the farm to experiment with paper-making+printmaking. This work came together to form an installation, with a central floor+wall piece. In the last week of the residency I held workshops in what I had been exploring, in exchange for herbs. These were then planted as a herb garden outside the gallery.
