This is a series of collages based on Eco prints. Eco printing is a type of direct contact printing that draws out pigments from plants to make interesting and often surprising marks. Each piece is unique; some are embellished with graphite, pastel, inks, or watercolors. Others are collaged with vintage nature guides, old paintings or prints. Any text transferred on is from a 1945 Organic Gardening pamphlet entitled " Leaves and what they do.‚" They are mounted on a wooden box whose sides have been fumaged, or scorched with a blow torch. All have been treated with 2 layers of UV resistant coating. They are ready to hang, or display as sculpture.
