found by is a project born out of wanting to learn about the foraged ingredients growing around me.
Over the past few months I've been walking with forager and chef Flavour Fred in Hackney Marshes. He points out the wild food around us, shares the myths and folklore surrounding it and shows me how he cooks with it.
I draw the trees, plants, fungi and fruits we find. The more I draw, the more I notice.
Back in my studio in London Fields, these drawings become my ingredients, not to cook with, but to make things people can have and hold. Objects that both record my walks and, I hope, spark conversations about wild food.
Over the coming year I'll be going on more walks, drawing and making objects from the seasonal things I find, and making them available here.
Inspired by my winter walks, the greetings cards below are the first things I've made. I hope you enjoy them and you might go out and forage for yourself.
