Tell us a little about your piece?
I chose to use these papers to create two species of plants: an endangered native Virginia Goat's Rue and a non-native, invasive Vinca. I hope to show that the Vinca is effectively smothering the Goat's Rue. Invasive plants are a problem throughout the world and they threaten the habitats of native, beneficial plants everywhere.
What was the most challenging part of the brief?
Using only the papers provided was challenging. I added a small amount of white paint to the pink flowers but otherwise only used the three colours.
What part of the collaboration did you enjoy the most?
I loved visualizing plants within the context of World Wildlife Day. It is a theme that I enjoy exploring.
How did you enjoy working with the paper?
I loved the Perigraphica papers. The colours are so rich and the quality is amazing.
I used Magnificent Green, Precious Purple, and Euphoric Pink
