Online Course FLORAL TIME: How Artists Describe Plants by Joseph Walsh

Joseph Walsh is an artist based in London. His work is about plants and actualising the statement “we co-habit with nature”.  This has involved doing herb meditation workshops, observational drawing and painting in nature, and learning through his upkeep of a plot of land in a wildlife community garden.  He has also produced films, his most recent was about the long running cook’s collective The Bonnington Cafe in London, showing its alternative work practice and how its approach to cooking and collective organisation has been sympathetic to a diversity of people.  Most recently he contributed to Flatness.eu and did a Caribic Walking residency.  Select exhibitions include Human Machine Interface, Hilbert Raum, Berlin; Greenhouse Effect, Beaconsfield Gallery, London; Date With Thyme, ANDOR, London; Swamp Living, co-organised workshop at IMT Gallery, London; performance at The Showroom, London and 21st Century, a performative presentation at Chisenhale Gallery.  He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, London, was a guest student at Staedelschule, Frankfurt and attended the LUX AAP programme.
