Invasive Pigments: Exploring Weeds Through Watercolor With Ellie Irons

Transform the region's wildly prolific plants into your own place-specific watercolor pigments with artist and invasive species connoisseur, Ellie Irons. Join Irons in an installment of her ongoing project, Invasive Pigments, where she gathers, cultivates, and processes wild and feral plant species on an intimate scale to encourage dialogue and activities for participants to experience their habitat in unexpected ways. Weeds are culturally defined for their lack of usefulness to us, but here they are useful as pigment in a representational system that marks the relationship between humans and plants within a larger ecosystem.
