A GCE 'A'-Level Final Project - This artwork is based on my imagination of my grandmother, as a gardener who grows whimsical herbs that can treat all of her problems, be it physical aches or emotional stress.It is a box filled with hand crafted tools and packets, with an illustrated garden journal on the inside.Every item has a special, imaginative story behind it,so visit my other project Prep Boards next to understand their meanings!
- Prep Board 1: Investigation of physical signs of aging through illustrations of her burdens, studies of her medicine box and skin.Photographs from her youth and illustrations of my memories as a child.
