I like making things that make people see ALL THE PLANTS — with other elements that may come up living in a food forest as my family and I do. Plant blindness is very sadly real. These works are for the plants, for us to reciprocate with our gift of attention and to celebrate their existence that makes ours possible.

Awapuhi is also called Shampoo Ginger, a perennial plant that thrives in shady and wet areas. As the name implies, some people use Shampoo Ginger as soap or shampoo. Our Shampoo Ginger plants usually disappear when it's summer, and then they reappear once the rainy season starts. This print features two young plants I saw leaning on each other, seemingly greeting their new world bravely together.

The mycelial network, created by fungi to access resources they need, connects trees and other plants through their roots, making communication and the sharing of nutrients possible. What we call mushrooms are actually the “fruits” of the mycelial or fungal network underground (sometimes visible above ground, too).
