Friend and artist, Kim Watson, sent me her work 'The garden weed project'. A delicate handmade book of unfixed lumen contact prints depicting weeds found in the garden.
The work is a re-examination of unwanted nuisance plants (weeds) as an assortment of versatile species and a valuable resource that is beneficial for our connection to nature as well as a food source for wildlife.
The methodology follows the re-examination with a conceptual play of circumventing traditional botanical cyanotype printing for the less recognizable lumen process.
