About Field Notes Sary Zavamaniry

Field Notes dia tetikasa mifantoka amin'ny fiarovana izay maneho ireo antsipiriany matetika tsy voaraharaha amin'ny natiora, manasongadina ny zavamaniry teratany sy ny samoina avy amin'ny faritra lavitra. Ny santionany tsirairay dia jerena amim-pitandremana ary voarakitra ao anatin'ny fanitarana, mirakitra ny zavatra rehetra manomboka amin'ny lalan-dra amin'ny ravin-kazo ka hatramin'ny lamina amin'ny elatry ny samoina. Ny fomba fanaovana sary ara-tsiansa nentim-paharazana dia ampiasaina handraketana ny santionany, avy eo dia nohatsaraina tamin'ny alalan'ny nomerika mba hampitombo ny halaliny sy ny mazavany. Aingam-panahy avy amin'ny fahamarinana ny tranombakoka momba ny tantara voajanahary, ny tetikasa dia manolotra fomba fijery akaiky amin'ireo santionany ireo sy ny anjara asany amin'ny tontolo iainana.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Botanical illustration was once a crucial skill for documenting plant species, but it is becoming less common in today’s fast-paced, digital world. The collection of black line illustrations revisits the practice of careful observational drawing, making it relevant and accessible in both print and digital formats.
Dimensions & Packaging: 3600 x 3600 pixels, 300dpi, RGB.
Tags: Illustration, Botanical, Nature, Education, Exhibition, Art, Science, Conservation, Envrionmental.
Production Technology: Initial illustrations were rendered in ink, then refined digitally. The final illustrations were printed on handmade, 100 percent recycled cotton paper embedded with wildflower seeds. They have been showcased in various print and digital formats across museums, gardens, and exhibits.
Design Challenge: A key challenge was illustrating dried, pressed plant specimens from museums, as they lose texture and depth once preserved. Capturing their true form while maintaining accuracy required careful observation and creative interpretation.
Research: The aim was to capture the beauty of moths and plants, blending detailed scientific illustration with a more artistic-design approach. The process involved field research, collecting specimens, and carefully studying their details before translating them into hand-drawn sketches, which were then refined digitally.

By showcasing these organisms through both a scientific and creative lens, the project encourages viewers to connect with the natural world, reflect on its beauty, and inspire its preservation.
Inspiration: The often overlooked details in nature, such as the shape of a leaf or the texture of a stem, are brought into focus through these illustrations. With the aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world, the project depicts the beauty and complexity of plant life. Inspired by herbaria and natural history museums, the project strives to document botanical specimens accurately and preserve a record for future studies. By combining traditional and digital techniques, the illustrations highlight the importance of these plants and encourage efforts to protect and preserve them.
Project Duration: Since 2020, the illustration project has been exhibited across Canada, following research at institutions, botanical gardens, and various museums.
Operation Flow: Designed to engage both academic and general audiences as educational guides, exhibition pieces, and visual assets for digital and printed media.
