Big Botany: Conversations with the Plant World

Ryan and Trevor Oakes have conducted numerous experiments making their own painting tools. For Cauli Cosmos they pressed romanesco broccoli into a grounded etching plate, effectively making an analog image of the fractal geometry of the plant. Similarly, Pine Cone Rhythm is the result of carefully rocking a pine cone across grounded etching plates.
