when peppermint leaves breathe and walk is a limited edition print that was commissioned by elevator mondays for a public artist talk i presented with them.

when peppermint leaves breathe and walk we encounter them and come to a total stop on the unexamined path of capitalism which we have been traversing. although, capitalism has tricked us into believing that plants are inert, lifeless and that we can do whatever we want to them – plants themselves are communicating the opposite to us – all you have to do is notice.

smelling, chewing, and drinking brewed peppermint plants aids our ability to notice the plant world around us by both, stimulating our brains with their chemical compounds and providing us with oxygen that keeps us alert!
