Herbs
Susan Rostow
1998
monotype with dried herbs, tree fungus, seed pods, sand and soil, unique bookwork
My sculptural books are visual diaries. // I begin by creating drawings and prints from nature. I take the drawings and prints, placing and glueing them on top of and underneath the actual objects. // It's not unusual to find roots, soil or turtle shells merged together to form my books. With the addition of the found objects from the natural world new dialog begins, the piece evolves. // The piece becomes a document, not only of events occurring between the materials, but also my environment, my life, and myself.
