Introduction

Exhibition 2007, ...other Flowers of Scotland funded by an Aberdeenshire Visual Artists Awards Scheme Award 2006/2007.

TEXTS: texts detailing the relationship of the plants to myself and others by investigating their medical, culinary and cultural associations. Food, medicine, poison and icon……..
