This installation project by two graduate students from the Kendall College of Art and Design will consist of images of common medicinal plant leaves that are often considered weeds, including dandelion, clover, plantain, lamb’s quarters, and chicory.  These plants are found in the Knoxville biosphere, as well as many other climate zones.  Printed from woodcuts and screenprints in green and gold tones, these prints will range from 10”- 30”.  The leaves will be individually cut out and arranged in overlapping clusters, covering large amounts of surface area. By reintroducing natural forms, they intend to draw attention to the role of nature in the urban landscape.
