A Living Family Herbarium: Miss Lucia in Paratissima 🌿
The Vittoria Schools are proud to help promote the artistic work of Lucia Landorno, our primary school teacher, who took part in Paratissima in Turin with her work *Erbario familiare vivente*.
Lucia, an illustrator (@senzadubbioluci) and art teacher at our school, presented *Erbario familiare vivente* (Living Family Herbarium), a work comprising five canvases drawn and inscribed in graphite and pastels, assembled to form a greenhouse.
The work stems from a desire to recount her origins through a genealogical herbarium: small botanical and poetic portraits that evoke the people in her family.
The structure can house real plants and be used as a greenhouse. Family memory thus becomes a living space, in which to cherish one’s roots and welcome new possibilities for growth.
