Recontextualising botanical art through sound, publishing and painting.
One of the things that intrigues me about her is her use of sound. She spends great amount of time recording the sounds of the area where she sketches her plant-life. These recordings are playing as she paints each piece and are often playing at her exhibitions. So as you are viewing her pieces, you are immersed in the sound of the locality, as well.
Brilliant!
