Each work in Shannon Rankin's 'Simpling' series is an intricate collage of vellum, monofilament + paper created by hand cutting and layering and stitching sheets of translucent vellum to create organic forms inspired by nature. Says Shannon: “The Simpling series is reminiscent of the inkblot test, and loosely based on the art of simpling, an early form of herbalism. This practice suggests that the shape and colour of plants carry clues to their proper uses in healing.' ☰ We only have 4 left in this series!
