Gloria Maggioli, Erbario Letterario, 2019

Erbario Letterario is a collection of plants and flowers made up of seven illustrations made with the woodcut technique. Each plant is associated with a piece of poetry or literature composed with the traditional lead characters. The images on the paper elevate the buds and leaves to a status of eternal flowering, creating a conceptual short circuit with the classic herbarium, a hymn to the eternal beauty of nature combined with the immortality of the writings of great authors.
