Fragments of a Garden
Luciane Kunde
This installation is based on a dialogue between my garden and the flower Tagetes erecta, which is widespread in Mexico. Between cultivars and collections in my own garden, I produce my own paper and give rise to another garden composed of fragments captured through monotype, of species such as Tagetes, Pigweed, Chrysanthemums, Mulberries and Sorrels.
