- Description
- The word Ruderal derives from the latin rudus, meaning lump or rough place, and is used to refer to those plant species that first inhabit a disturbed or destroyed landscape. Mills book addresses the wide variety of plants that have returned to the paved and developed landscape of Manhattan to find their way up through the cracks. The text is in the form of rotating, visual acrostic poems which spell the word ruderal. Screen printed in nine colors. Alternating page spreads show the poetry, and images in duotone color of cityscapes with an alphabetical list of ruderal plants. This hand bound book has wooden covers, and endsheets made of abaca, ruderal burdock and ruderal dandelion. Initialed by the artist
