Crafts and Other Media

 

Sometimes I make other stuff.

 

 

White City Flora

Dried in color-preserving desiccants, mounted on rice paper, and labeled with genus, species, and common name, White City Flora specimens celebrate the remaining plant life in and around Grant Park, Chicago. In Spring of 2016 they were featured in Columbia College Chicago's Hokin Gallery as part of their exhibition, "The Field Notebook."
