Materialized from the soil, rain, and air around them, plants physically embody place. Plant also embody their individual histories, as well as the history of their species and its interaction with humans. Using gathered and cultivated plants as dyes I transfer their color to cloth with traditional dyeing techniques honed over centuries. The colors obtained are enriched by each plant’s historical, cultural, and physical substance as well as by the connection across time  all who ever worked within these traditions.
