Archway Herbal Clinic
INTERSPERSED
Interspersed is a creative collaboration between Archway Herbal clinic and artist Louise Sayarer. Through interactions with the staff and visitors of the clinic Louise has been developing a series of person specific tasks which intend to draw out more of the creative people process of herbal medicine. Interspersed will explore these integral processes and actions within the clinic and make them visible with a new twist.
“It is great to be involved in a project whereby an emphasis on stimulating a creative dialogue between myself and the staff at the Archway Herbal Clinic is at the heart of the work we will do together. I hope that the work produced will communicate something of the whole diverse community involved in the processes of plant medicine and conservation.”
