Nature's Imprint: Capturing Stories in Botanical and Chlorophyll Prints

In my exploration of botanical and chlorophyll print art, I am drawn to the mesmerizing patterns and intricate details of leaves and plants. Each leaf tells a story, its print developing over time, much like the human experience. Through this art form, I capture the essence of fallen and forgotten trees, preserving their legacy in a way that speaks to the resilience and beauty of nature. By using sunlight and natural processes, I breathe new life into a single leaf, transforming it into a lasting work of art. This sustainable, eco-friendly method not only honors the natural world but also allows me to create art that is deeply connected to the earth.

Timeless Leaves: Preserving Nature’s Stories in Art

My botanical prints are more than just an artistic expression; they are a celebration of nature’s enduring spirit. After the initial print is formed, I process each piece with iron salt and natural oils, a technique reminiscent of ancient preservation methods. This process, akin to mummification, replaces the chlorophyll in the leaves, rendering them light-insensitive and ensuring that the art remains vibrant and long-lasting. Through these prints, I aim to prolong the life of each leaf, capturing its unique story and allowing it to live on in a new form. In this way, my work not only reflects the beauty of nature but also contributes to its preservation, creating a timeless connection between art and the environment.
