Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey

Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey work with grass to reproduce photographs.
Very cool! I'd love to see them in person...err or maybe as a bird.


"We are exploring the capacity of grass to record complex photographic images through the production of chlorophyll. The equivalent of the tonal range in a black-and-white photograph is produced in the yellow and green shades of living grass. Although these organic "photographs" are exhibited in a fresh state for a short time, excessive light or lack of it eventually corrupts the visibility of the image."
