Grass on paper
These three drawings were made by sketching the labyrinths with glue on paper and then covering the glue with seeds, in a process that looks like maki-e, the traditional gold sprinkle of Japanese craftsmanship. I then watered the drawing for about a week. When they were shown, the grass was still alive and you can see insects running inside the case/frame. Two are in the collection of the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. The design with the floral centre is in the floor of Chartres Cathedral.
