a colourful journey into the land, down to its ancient earthy depths and through its wild and vibrant undergrowth
Wild Colours & Land Stories
Plant and Pigment is a project and art practice which focuses on getting to know local landscapes through gently gathering materials and observations and processing them into inks, paints, stories and artworks.
Every plant and stone has a name and a story of its own. Learning these tales, of roots and seeds or rocks and weather, can enrich our understanding of Earth and our place within it.
Through working with wild colours and materials we aim add depth to the collective view and understanding of our surrounding landscapes – encouraging relationship with the very ground beneath our feet and drawing attention to the much larger story that we’re a part of.
“We need acts of restoration, not only for polluted waters and degrading lands, but also for our relationship to the world.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer.
