Archive of Color is an ongoing artistic research project in which I document colors derived from local plants. I collect both wild and cultivated species, extract pigments from them, and create samples on recycled textiles. Rather than following botanical classifications, I focus on an intuitive experience of each plant – its color, scent, and connection to place. The project began in Libken during my residency and will continue to evolve in new locations. The outcome will be a series of site-specific publications that may also serve as tools for other creators. The booklet, featuring samples from the surroundings of Libken, exists in only two copies – one remains in the Libken library, and the other I brought with me to Poland.
