SOME HERBS

NÅGRA ÖRTER. SOME HERBS.

Galleri Sinne, Helsinki, 6.12. - 22.12.2007

Materials: Fired clay tablets (Finnish red clay) with patterns of herbs from my garden which I picked in the summer of 2007. In the frames there is text in Swedish. In the big frame there is a list of the same herbs as pictured on the clay tablets. In the small frame there is a question: "Vad blir kvar?" - "What is left?"

A herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities. Herbs have a variety of uses, including culinary, medicinal and spiritual. In medicinal and spiritual use any of the parts of the plant might be considered as herbs, including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark (cambium), berries, and sometimes the pericarp or other portions of the plant.

Below is a list in Latin of the herbs that I found in my garden in the summer of 2007.
