Over the past week or so, I’ve come across two great examples of artists using plants as their medium. The first is the work of Binh Danh, a Vietnam-born artist who prints his photographs on leaves. I first saw his work at easternblot.net. By covering a leaf with a photographic negative, pressing between glass plates, and then exposing to the sun for weeks to months at a time, the image can get transfered to the leaf. This occurs because areas of the leaf that don’t get sunlight turn pale, while exposure to sunlight stimulates chlorophyll production, turning that part of the leaf green. The image is then preserved by embedding the leaf in resin. What’s really cool about this technique is that it produces rather detailed shading and gradients of colour. This gives the leaf prints a beautiful realism. Further examples of Binh Danh’s work can be viewed at the Haines Gallery, Silicon Valley Art Museum, and the NPR. If you want to try a similar technique at home, check out this page for instructions.

I wonder if they do this at the better photo places: "Yes, can I have this developed on plants, please? Not too big, they're for my passport." I know!
