Foraging Wild Plants
Foraging for wild food plants can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it is important to approach it with the proper knowledge and respect for nature. Wild food plants can be found in various habitats, including forests, fields, and wetlands. It is crucial to learn about plant identification, including how to distinguish edible plants from poisonous ones. Always ensure that the plants you are foraging are legal to harvest and are not protected by conservation laws. It is also important to forage sustainably, taking only what you need and leaving enough for the plant to regenerate. Proper harvesting techniques can also help preserve the environment and allow the plant population to thrive. Foraging for wild food plants can be a fun and educational activity, but it is crucial to approach it with the right mindset and respect for nature.
This is not a foraging guide
While the depicted plants or certain parts of them can be consumed, they may require special preparation and should not be consumed without proper knowledge.
This poster is not a comprehensive guide to wild edible plants. Seek advice from a knowledgeable expert before consuming any wild plants. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided and reserve the right to make changes as necessary.
“Digital foraging”
Introducing “digital foraging”, my latest project that delves into the vast and untapped world of digital information. With a sheer endless amount of historic images and resources available online, the possibilities are endless. The artwork you see here is a perfect example of what can be achieved through “digital foraging”.
Unfortunately it takes much more than just a quick search to get the results you see here. It takes hours of research, technical know-how and a keen eye to find the right images, in the right resolution, and format. And that’s just the beginning. The real work starts with processing and manipulating the images to create something new and unique.
Personally, I perceive the pursuit of historical depictions of marine life, fungi, birds, wild fruits or other related subjects as digital foraging, entailing extensive searches across scientific databases and centuries-old records.
For me, this is what “digital foraging” is all about. The excitement of discovery and the satisfaction of creating something new and beautiful from what was once forgotten. It’s also a modern take on the traditional art of foraging, and I can’t wait to see what else can be found in the vast depths of the digital world.
