"Louesa is an incredible and singular talent. She has the powerful
ability to gather and assemble plants into living sculpture. The
astonishing thing about Foraged Flora is that it so perfectly
translates her transitory work in permanent printed form. Flipping
through its pages you will get her vibe instantly, and be
transported to another place."
