Collaboration with Meyendel - Hibiscus, Spirulina, Barley grass ink

2023


A collection of prints commissioned by Meyendel, a Dutch music duo named after the Meijendel dune area in The Hague (The Netherlands). Inspired by the natural landscape where the energy of the tides meets the calm rise of the sandy dunes, their logo, and lyrics leave a non-permanent mark on the paper.

Handmade natural ink made from oak galls, barley grass, spirulina and hibiscus flowers foraged locally opens a conversation with time: colors in relationship with light will change and continue storytelling.

Ingredients: Oak Galls (Quercus infectoria), Barley grass (Hordeum vulgare), Spirulina (Arthrospira), Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Guar gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), Arabic gum (Acacia senegal).

Co-creation for Meyendel. Logo design: Merel Calkoen. Printmaking and natural ink-making: Greta Facchinato. Photography by Greta Facchinato
