Next week I’ll travel through Europe by train leaving a trail of Cosmos Daydream seeds. This particular Cosmos Bipinnatus, a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteracea, grows to more than a metre in height and it has dreamy pink flowers with a yellow heart. It is best sown in May or June and it doesn’t need much care. They look wild and sophisticated at the same time.
I love that name, Cosmos Daydream, and I worked with the seeds in the past, once using them to grow the ground plan of my apartment in a farmer’s field when I couldn’t return home during Covid.
After arriving at Inwole/Projekthaus Potsdam for Tiny Spaces Deep Connections (a 2-year research initiative designed to develop a more sustainable model for artist residencies) and living in a tiny house creating new work, I will travel back, spreading more seeds.
The trail will lead through these places: Fontao - Monforte de Lemos - Leon - Valencia - Barcelona - Civitaveccia - Roma - Bologna - Rovereto - München - Berlin - Potsdam - Berlin - Karlsruhe - Paris - Toulouse - Narbonne - Barcelona.
If you’re on my route and would like to meet up, let me know! I’ll be handing out little jars of my travel companion (a sourdough starter) as well.
