Community Project
Herbarium – Primaria Jaime Nunó de Río Grande
The artist worked with 6th grade children from Jaime Nuno Elementary School in Rio Grande for several sessions. The objective of the project was for each participant to make a record of the plants that make up the gardens and nursery of Casa Wabi, with the purpose of creating a catalog of the different species and adding information about each one, emphasizing their gastronomic, medicinal uses Or of ornament. To register each plant a transfer of the shape of the leaves and branches was made by utilizing black spray paint. The information on the use of each species was carried out by the research that each student made and also by the data provided by Alfredo, the nursery manager. The final result is a book consisting of the registry of more than 20 different species with their pertinent explanations.
