4D- In Process Thought

In this picture, I have an assortment of books revolving around spices, aroma therapy, and crystal healing. I chose these books because plants and crystals all appear different from each other (within their classification) and have different characteristics to their ‘personality.’ For example, garlic can perform actions such as: serving as and antibiotic, expectorant, promotes sweating, reduces blood pressure, anticoagulant, lowers blood cholesterol levels, lowers blood sugar levels, anti-histaminic, and antiparasitic. While lemon balm’s actions include: being a sedative, anti-depressant, digestive stimulant, relaxes peripheral blood vessels, promotes sweating, relaxing restorative for nervous system, antiviral, antibacterial, carminative, and antispasmodic. The point here is that there are sometimes similar properties in the herbs healing similar cases. Sometimes, they contain completely different healing properties. Similarly to handwriting, there are similar components but there are different uses and meanings behind them that serve a greater purpose. I hope to formulate an installation with this information and connections. Ultimately, craftsmanship is in development, concept and creativity are present, however.
