"As we walk through our landscapes, we glance over what is repeated, the common plants, almost forgetting their existence. Then suddenly, something pops out, something catches our eye. We walk towards it and get down on our knees to see if we recognize it and know it by name." (Linda Jennings, Botanist, UBC)
A public participatory project with twenty adult ESL learners, who contributed to the audio-video work Proverbial Botany, designed in collaboration with digital media specialist Derek Tan and sound artist Andreas Kahre.
