Plants can see.  We uproot and lop them, germinate and transplant them, largely as we wish.  It seldom occurs to us, as we pick a burr from our socks or drink another glass of wine, that we are actors in strategies that we initiated not by ourselves but by them, strategies that have been hugely successful in their campaigns to claim ever more living space on earth for their species. (David Attenborough)

Dyer’s Chamomile.
A live dye I am currently experimenting with to cultivate indoors during the winter.  A perennial plant that can color fabric in a secondary and complimentary gradation, as well as harvesting for tea purposes##. Excite.  This experiment is part of my ‘Natural Growth Project’ series.  Stay tuned…..

I explore the human perception of nature through weavings, natural dyes, soft sculptures, prints, and photographs that reference cultural histories in relationship to the natural landscape. Concepts that illustrate experiences of vicarious resilience and positive thinking will always permeate my work, as it is at the heart of my activist practice as an art therapist.
