…An herbarium becomes a landscape…
Wild plants that I’m collecting and I’m using in my studio and in the kitchen, pressed on Japanese paper, become the structure of the landscape itself and the memory of places.
A work that starts from the imprint of the sage leaf left by Leonardo among his projects…
