Karibe Botanica Series
A collection of colored pencil and ink botanical drawings of Caribbean plants I grew up around and were part of ancestral diets and medicine. The botanical drawings are superimposed with body field drawings. Body field drawings are a personal practice in my herbalism studies for each plant. The body fields of each plant considers the healing and metaphysical qualities of it in relationship to the body and mind. Each drawing has a collection of seeds from the plant to practice conservation. This series centers relationship building with plants through the lens of botanical indigenous applications of medicine and energetic frequency of the plants. When available I include the indigenous name of the plant named by the Arawak-Taino of the Caribbean.
All drawings are colored pencil and ink on stonehenge paper 16" x 22"
