Walking on the koppie behind the house, I went in search of plants to sketch. I imagined using their forms as starting points for new jewellery designs — shapes that might grow into something unexpected. Before I knew it, the plants were drenched in ink and I was making prints instead: page after page, a whole book filled.
I was captivated by the results. The prints captured a collaboration between myself and the plants of the koppie in a way no drawing ever could. From this process, a series emerged — a collection of my favourite impressions.
