Blueprint Series

These 6 images of the first blueprint edition of Time, Space & Blues convey 8 months of a planting process with an annual plant, Japanese indigo (Polygonum tinctorium) from seeds to collecting seeds. Those plants were planting in my tiny backyard in Brooklyn from April to August, harvested in between August through September, and seeds were collected in late october in 2018.
