Storytelling as Pollination.
Handmade paper sheets with botanicals and text transfer in an embroidered cloth cover, with a set of handstitched handler’s gloves.

Inchmeal leach of green onto gold
To make a thick sage-slurry,
Potent enough to palliate.
It’s slow, all this,
But healing takes its own sweet-time.
