We are wildflowers...

This project was inspired by a discussion about if thre is such a thing as weed and are not all plants equaly important in our eco systems. I always loved wildflowers, which many people consider weeds.

I feel the beauty and delicacy and of course the healing powers of many wild flowers and herbs are often overlooked in modern times. 

For centuries wild flowers and their healing properties were an importantcontribution to medicine.

That's why I decided to let them shine in my wildflower project. Like with the virus quilt, I stitched a wildflower every day and didn't know where this would go, but eventually I got in contact with another artist who is passionate about wildflowers.

She arranged for my flowers to go to an exhibition in Romania.

Later they were shown by the Dorset Wildlife Trust in one of their centres, , The wild foundation wild chesil centre.
