Herbaria Symbiote: À field guide to re-enchanting the World
My thesis is a field guide/art book that examines plants found in disturbed landscapes and urban landscapes. Through each plant portrait I examine their role within the history of the commodification of nature, how contaminated landscapes are affecting plant/insect/soil relationships, and ways to restore our connection with the land.
