Petals and Palettes
By Marjorie Tello-Wong & Khang Truong
“Petals and Palettes” delves into Ojai, California’s agricultural landscapes, drawing inspiration from Albert Hoffman’s graphic techniques to cultivate a visual language. Various notations, inspired by pixel farming and zone overlap, signify potential planting spots and the cohabitation of varying plant species. The project distills pixel farming methods into speculative drawings and models, bridging the gap between abstract concepts and practical farming experiences. These abstract representations come to life to facilitate the production of organic cosmetics, which are made from an array of “natural” elements interwoven with “constructed” elements. This transformation results in a layered blend of aesthetics, architecture, and agriculture.
