UNDERSTOREY: A YEAR AMONG WEEDS (HB)

In gardens, on verges or clustered around municipal lampposts, weeds offer a year-round spectacle of wildlife. In Understorey, artist and writer Anna Chapman Parker records in prose and stunning original line drawings a year spent looking closely at weeds, our most ubiquitous and accessible plants. Meditating too on how they appear in other artists’ work, from a bramble framing a sixth-century Byzantine manuscript to a kudzu vine installation in contemporary Berlin, Chapman Parker explores the art of paying attention even to the smallest things.
