An ongoing series of photos exploring the forager’s specific relationship with nature. Rachel seeks out foragers in rural & urban, sometimes edgy, ex-industrial spaces, whose discoveries ground them in the natural world. Pictured here are “Buck & Birch,” who find unusual, slightly transgressive ingredients for culinary events to surprise and delight, and medicinal herbalists Grassroots Remedies, whose wild findings fuel a clinic for accessible herbal remedies in deprived communities. Rachel’s photos capture the multi-sensory essence of this experience, as well as the precision involved in identifying plants, weeds, roots and their life stages, each season.
