    Philadelphia artist MF Cardamone exhibits mixed media works on paper that whimsically record the life histories of plants throughout the world. Cardamone incorporated plants native to The Schulykill Center for Environmental Education when creating works included in Natural History of My Backyard. Cardamone’s plant specimens are collected and combined with images and words that playfully modernize the traditions of specimen mounting and botanical illustration. The results are complex visual narratives that reveal the science, history, and beauty of their subjects. Original pieces are produced in small editions and printed on 100% rag watercolor paper using archival inks and individually embellished by hand.
