339 Grasses examines the flowering stage of grasses — plants that are closely related to major cultivated grains and form a fundamental part of global ecosystems. By isolating and reproducing these specimens, the work foregrounds structures that are usually overlooked.
The series consists of inkjet photocopies of pressed grasses on colored paper. The specimens are positioned intuitively on the scanner plate and reproduced at a 1:1 scale; rotations and overlaps create minor variations between the sheets.
The project references 19th-century Nature Printing, in particular the work of Constantin von Ettingshausen and Alois Pokorny (Physiotypia plantarum austriacarum, 1855–1873), as well as early botanical photographic practices including those of Anna Atkins. Research at the New York Botanical Garden Library informed its development.
The book includes 100 sheets bound in green linen. The title notes the total number of grass stems reproduced.
