Ask Herbal Health Expert Susun Weed & Second Nature Project Jody Dunphy

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Jody Dunphy.

The project was born while she was earning her MFA in Applied Craft and Design at the Oregon College of Art and Craft + Pacific Northwest College of Art. Her practice is driven by a desire to share her fascination with plant life and inspire people to think about their relationship with the natural world. She makes jewelry and sculpture for holding plants and seeds that are dispersed via diverse channels: in galleries, on the street and through retail. Collaboration, engagement, ephemerality, labor and craft are underlying themes in the work she creates.
