permaculture

[mIEKAL aND <qazingulaza@gmail.com>]

Watson's hand-drafted permaculture designs are both functional and
luscious, full of the anticipatory joy of creating abundant, edible
landscapes hand-in-hand with nature. These maps reflect a process,
already imagined and waiting to take root. Watson said she thinks of
permaculture as the conscious design of ecosystems. The permaculture
design starts with an attractive landscape illustration and continues
with a written narrative of how to make the vision a reality in small
incremental stages.

"This process of implementing the design can be seen as a slow form of
performance art where people take up the dance with other life forms
around them and weave beautiful tapestries of interconnected webs of
relationships in edible landscapes,” she said.
