2013 August ‘Mata Atlântica Impressões em Cerâmica’
An exhibition of ceramic tiles made with flora from the Botanic Gardens of Rio de Janeiro.
A selection of 45 different plant species were selected by botanists to represent the endangered Atlantic forests of Brazil.
The tiles were made by pressing the selected plant flora directly in to clay, and then adding colour and definition with ceramic glazes.
Location: Centro de visitantes – Botanic Gardens – Rio de Janeiro
