What appears to be a floral watercolor or a herbarium consists of plants pressed between two sheets of paper under high pressure, causing them to bleed out. Plant remnants and sap often remain on one sheet, while a “ghost print” made of plant sap forms on the other. It is an image of destruction—beautiful to look at, if you don’t want to examine it too closely.

The collaged photocopies of insects, as well as plant and seed parts, on overhead transparencies reinforce the sensory impression. Over time, the colors of the plant prints will change and fade, while the colors of the collaged photographic elements will remain. While the natural fades away, the artificial remains.
