​

Herma de Wit’s work, her bronze sculptures, objects, drawings, and etchings, reveal an almost obsessive relationship with nature. The images in this book derive from elements of nature that the Dutch artist has gathered for almost 20 years of travelling across the globe. The leaves, flowers, and seeds she finds and collects become a memory of the city or country. This collection of mainly isolated fragments of flora, thoughtfully bound by cahier-stitching, show the fragility and strength of an object through the medium of the monoprint, a technique she says helps her create poetic images from the most beautiful examples of her collection.
