Seasonal Produce A3 Art Print (botanical chart version)

Seasonal Produce // Australia

A globalising marketplace allows us to access much of our fruit, vegetables, herbs, tubers and legumes almost year round. The food miles this produce travels, the time and energy to preserve it for market, and our aesthetic preferences as consumers make our eating habits increasingly unsustainable.

I created the chart for myself, friends and family in an effort to connect with the land we live in and learn more about how we should take care of it and ourselves. In the course of creating it I was compelled to engage more with the bush tucker maintained for tens of thousands of years by Australia’s First Peoples.

The chart is organised by peak in-country harvest times. It is laid out according to the Western seasons for accessibility and clarity, but I would encourage everyone to look up First Nations calendars for your region for more accurate representations of our seasons.

Each image is a unique digital illustration drawn in Naarm (Melbourne), Boorloo (Perth) or on a train somewhere in Europe.

The chart began as a labour of love but has also become one of learning and growth: I hope it can be for you too!
