About The Work
A series of seven prints, Herbarium was inspired by the work of Henry Perrine, a horticulturist who was murdered during a Seminole Indian raid. Perrine was one of the first horticulturists to study Florida's vast agricultural offerings, and to document its many plant species. This series is meant to represent the few remaining species salvaged from Perrine's herbarium, which was destroyed during the raid on his house.
