The Initiative works to engage community members throughout what is currently known as the Lower Mainland of BC, delivering a series of workshops on Invasive Species-based #art supplies and other useable materials in collaboration with non-for-profits and local volunteer groups.The traveling project was established in late 2021, aiming for ethical and reciprocal engagements within the often-destructive practices of invasive removal, offering use for the materiality of the plants that would otherwise go to waste.Promoting dialogues on "environment", colonization and human exceptionalism, the project works with organizations in offering demonstrations and talks on re-contextualizing social imaginations in relationship with so-called Invasive Species.

Here’s the dried colours. I love the yellow of the shallot skin. The purple reed flowers have produced a lovely shade of green, with an unexpected blue outline. There’s a bit of a pink-orange visible on the rosebay willow herb. I’ll need to extract more plant material in to this batch to increase the colour. The viburnum is more blue-purple now. I’ve applied a second coat to all to see how the colour deepens or changes.
First application of just the extracted, unamended colour. Viburnum berries are slowly turning purple. Shallot has become orange. Rosebay willowherb is barely visible. I’ve used it before and it needs a thick application but it van get to a really nice multi-tonal pink. Reed is a pale green that is hard to see. I’ll also try thickening it with cornflour and gum arabic to see how the colour changes.
Here’s the inks - red/pink 4 ways. Clockwise from top left:
Common reed (just the flowering parts at the top which are a beautiful red-purple)
Viburnum opulus berries. I’ve tried this on basic printer paper, now i want to see how the colour changes on this cartridge paper.
Shallot skin.
Rosebay willow herb stem.
I’ll follow up with photos of the plants and what the ink looks like on the paper.
