Edible Plants
2022,2021
Overview
For over a decade, artist Jimmy Fike traveled across the
continental United States in an epic effort to photograph wild
edible flora. Edible Plants is the culmination of that
journey, featuring over 100 photographs that Fike has selectively
colorized to highlight the comestible part of the plant.
While the images initially appear to be scientific illustrations
or photograms from the dawn of photography when plants were placed
directly on sensitized paper and exposed under the sun, a closer
look reveals, according to Liesl Bradner of the Los Angeles
Times , \"haunting [and] eerily beautiful\" photographs. Beyond
instilling wonder, Fike's contemporary, place-based approach to
landscape photography emphasizes our relationship to the natural
world, reveals food sources, and encourages environmental
stewardship. His clever and beautiful method makes it easy to
identify both the specimen and its edible parts and includes
detailed descriptions about the plant's wider purposes as food and
medicine.
Sumptuously illustrated and delightfully informative, Edible
Plants is the perfect gift for anyone curious about unlocking
the secrets of native North American plants.
