Canvassing seeds to tell the story of the Earth

Here is an artist, who tells the story of the earth in a unique and an amazing way, as he works exclusively with plant materials to create his pieces. Richard Solomon claims his studio to be a Natural History Department of Botanical Wonders — the hut of the SeedShaman.

Solomon says,

Every seed has a story to tell…the “story” of the earth. My work is a return to art’s first canvas – the earth – and to the planet’s original storytellers: the seeds. I have learned that every seed has a story to tell. The “story” of the earth.

Here are some of his brilliant canvassing of nature, telling the original story of the earth.

‘The plant materials I collect in various stages of their life cycle were all once seeds. From beginning to end, each piece, like the seed, evokes a spirit and connection with Mother Earth.’
