UNDERSTOREY: A YEAR AMONG WEEDS (HB)

In gardens, on verges or clustered around municipal lampposts, weeds offer a year-round spectacle of wildlife. In this book, artist and writer Anna Chapman Parker records in prose and original line drawings a year spent looking closely at weeds, our most ubiquitous and accessible plants. Meditating 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, she explores the art of paying attention even to the smallest things.
