Hoisan Black Tea Chromatogram

Soil chromatography is like taking a photo of the compounds and bacteria that make up soil or plants.

Black Tea from Hoisan 台山

Hoisan, also called Toisan and Taishan, is Mari’s ancestral family home. They made the original chromatogram this print is based on using tea grown in Hoisan. When thinking about the stories their grandmother told them about her childhood, Mari imagines that the creek she grew up by looked something like this on a foggy day at sunset.

This is a giclee print (aka a digitally printed copy) of a chromatogram made by Mari Miller for their body of work titled The Land Loves Us. You will receive a 8.5″ x 17″ unframed reproduction print. Note that while photos match the prints’ colors as closely as possible, colors may vary among different computer monitors. What appears on your monitor may not reflect the exact shades of color in the print.
