A publication with Greta Facchinato’s research on natural ink-making for the screen printing technique. The artist's book contains recipes to make natural ink from plants, kitchen scraps, and urban relics. It is also a collection of reflections and precious lessons that the artist learned on the way by researching archives, reading, printing, and speaking to different experts. The editorial design is thought out as between a journal and a botanical manuscript. Researching the world of color and natural ink-making means constantly learning from our landscape and it takes effort, time, and the willingness of opening up all the senses.
