Plantago Lanceolata

  • Plantago Lanceolata
  • Minhocão

Ribwort plantain, latin plantago lanceolata, at the corner of Sansome and Greene, in San Francisco.

Part of the Weeds series, the mural is based on a nearby spontaneously occurring wild plant.

This is an anamorphic mural, in which the image is designed so as to resolve into a continuous natural shape when seen from a specific direction.

The image skews and fractures into unexpected abstract art the further one moves from the key viewing angle.

A stencil on the ground, at some distance from the wall, marks the key viewing spot, from where the image looks most naturally proportioned and 3D.

Special thanks to the family who commissioned this piece, whose third and fourth generations still own and manage the Abbott building on-site since great-grandfather built it in 1924.

---> See also: other oversized pieces stemming from my WEEDS project are under murals, such as Amsinckia Menziesii, Achiranthes Aspera and more.
