The process
Tina-Marié picks plants instinctively and for weeks presses her collection of leaves and flowers in large flower presses. When they are properly dried, she mounts the delicate pressed plants – roots, stems, leaves and flowers - with fine strips of masking tape on large sheets of paper, artworks on their own.
The next step takes her to her ceramics. Inspired by the delicate patterns of the dried plants, she allows them to gain a new life on her white plates and bowls, exquisitely illustrated in hues of blue.
