Our newest exhibition is now open! "Die Hoffnung Der Pflanzen / The Hope of Plants" explores herbs, flowers, vegetables, roots, and the occasional creature. This series couples the intentional carved marks of 15th century wood engravings with the bold shapes and composition of early 20th century expressionist woodcuts. The result is a hand-colored contemporary portrayal of personal herbology, or the assumed language of a plant and its individual meaning to a person.
