Why wearable art is a path to deeper healing
Wearing your medicine, putting plant colors on your body for protection and healing is a very, very old tradition. Different cultures would wear sacred garments and textiles dyed with plants to be used for ceremony work, for going into battle. — Jennifer Johnson
In my work on Plant Love Radio I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy plants. One of those happened few months back when I met Jennifer Johnson and fell in love with her work.
Jennifer is a plant dye fiber artist, a farmer and a medicine maker. Over a decade ago, she discovered how to use plans for natural dye.
Jennifer creates beautiful and unique botanical prints and plan dyed fiber art using fresh and dried plants. Her family runs a single source dye farm organically growing all the plants used to make incredible vibrant colors called ‘farm grown color’.
Jennifer believes that the spirits of the plants live in the fibers.
