Book description
In the summer of 2023, Sam Francis began keeping a diary about the teasels growing in her garden, closely observing their growth from seedling to maturity and then senescence. The result was a deeply considered and moving testament to the entanglement of plants, people and environment."I want to learn what it is to be plant. To be alive, and willed, and waning."Teasels is a richly poetic, ecofeminist almanac considering the process of aging and themes of belonging."I have a hunch that teasels are canny and capable of all kinds of magical things. Things that cannot be known from simply passing them by in the wild. This is why I want you in my garden. To see your wildness, your tiny things. To zoom into your miniscule worlds, to witness your incremental cellular changes as you urge into and out of the world. I shall be your witness. Gathering clues about you like a hybrid, a private detective, scientist, lover."Sam is a North Somerset-based artist and edgeland naturalist who seeks to work in dialogue with non-human life forms. Her work explores themes of aloneness and the female body, often set within the landscape. Previous pieces include a project on nettles for East Quay arts centre in Watchet, which was featured by Caught by the River.Eco-print paperback made of 100% recycled paper, printed in Suffolk with non-GM vegetable inks.
