Artem Materia Medica
Materia Medica - body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance use for healing
Artem - art, technique, skill, craft, science
A plethora of possibilities
paint, paper, pencils, oil pastel,
flowers, grasses, leaves and twigs
buttons, bows, needles and thread
wool, whatnots, wood and whimsey
tattoos, sand, grit and pebble, tile,
dreamcatchers, nets and webs of silk

treasure maps, life lines, calendar circle
points of compass, globes with snow,
or just snow -
expressive art in any colour, texture, shape,
scent or sound, heavy, light, thin, or thick -
activate, express, understand, grow.
