This composition is made with wild roadside plants. Spurge with roots and all and a few leaves of the soft wild geranium. All found near Crush on Nature's studio, along the quays, of the Rotterdam harbour. There I find a treasure trove of wild plants. But most also grow in the city! along the footpath, an unused corner, next to the lamppost. Sometimes you have to kneel down to discover the beauty. Our nature close at hand!
That is the mission of Crush on Nature: to show you the beauty of our wild plants. If you get an eye for that, you will find that the world is much richer than you thought. With a sensitive eye, there is so much to discover. This work shows you how beautiful weeds are.
Using ecoprinting, these plants are naturally printed on fabric. For contrast, I used bluewood pigment. This gives you a beautiful, watery print, almost like a watercolour.
The enchanting world of our wild plants.
