Walking & Foraging

  • Alice Kirby

A zine to take you on an insightful walk. I set out to go and learn about my world around me, understand more about the plants that we walk past. I studied herbal hedgerow medicine, so that each walk I went on I knew more and could recognise and remember more. I made some sketchbooks that were concertina bound so that it was continuous drawing as I walked. I wanted to make something that could be taken on a walk, with plants that can be easily found. I included only flora and fauna I had actually seen and recognised. The zine also includes prints I made from plants and flowers and photographs of dried herbs and myself. A collection of my walks and findings.
