FAVORED
FLAVORS: the spicy side of botany I
am always aware of the relationship between people and plants. We
eat them, drink them, wear them; build, medicate and flavor with
them, but most people could not say where black pepper comes from,
much less name the plant that produces nutmeg. Among the most remarkable
and least considered plants in the grocery store are the
flavors contained in little jars at the far end of aisle 13: the
spices. Every ordinary spice comes from a plant and a place and
has an extraordinary story. These works combine traditional botanical
drawing techniques in colored pencil with old maps and culinary/
cultural icons.
