This alphabet is the result of a workshop I took with Thomas Ingmire, Roman Cursive in the 21st Century in Seattle, Washington, 2004.
In this workshop I developed this “botanical alphabet” inspired by my husbands love of nature transforming the shapes and flowers into letters. In this book the artwork is fragmented into ten separate parts which go inside small envelopes.
The work can be put together the way it was meant by the artist by arranging the cards in a numerical order or it can be assembled on a personal basis by the observer.
