Wall hangings
Story of plant printing
Workingbert presents at Masterly two wall hangings from theTabula Rasa series. Illuminated natural plant prints on handmade paper.
A process of pressing and steaming stacked wild plants between rag paper in rust waters makes the plants print themselves on paper.
Complimented by embroidery, flock, goldleaf and lapis lazuli, the herbarium-like sheets are treated as illuminated medieval manuscripts using onlyhandmade techniques.
The decoration of the pieces consists of a grid of dots and measurementstripes, focusing in a scientific manner on the organic natural forms of the plant print.This way of printing with plants on natural- and with natural materials, are astarting point of developing large circular, natural and sustainablewallpapers.
