hand-colored inkjet prints

A series of hand-colored prints accompanies the Growing Towards the Light tables. The prints were inspired by prints in an 1832 report from a rural agricultural study station in France.

At that time, soil fertility and additives were of great interest. The prints record how plants grew in soil with different additives.
