Such a lovely post Ruth 🌸Botanical illustrations through the ages - science and spirit. So dreamy and divine!! I wish we could have been at the af Klint exhibit together. I’ll be adding many other books you mentioned to my wish list. 🙏🏼💖
Dear April, such a great collaboration, in which you have had an inspiring role. I also wish I could have been there at the exhibit with you. Inspiration dialogues and exchanges to be continued!
And I've only recently been introduced to Hilma af Klint by my friend, April McMurtry! I'm so drawn to Hilma's work, as I am with many of the turn of the last century mystics and mystery school society members! But I absolutely love plant drawings of all kinds. When my family traveled to Vienna over New Years, there was this ancient manuscript on display at the Austrian National Library: the Vienna Dioscurides. It's assumed to have been created in Constantinople in 500 AD and it's a codex of images of almost 400 medicinal plants! The image on display was of Chinese Lantern plant, which I've never met in person. I must've stood there for 10 minutes staring amongst the throngs of people, unwilling to peel my eyes from the ancient text. What a treasure!
