Urban Edible Aid
This is an ongoing project Alyssa started in 2009 while in grad school at Tulane University where she would either plant or harvest "weedy" medicinal plants from the urban areas where she was living as a way to bring awareness to the abundant, diverse ecosystem of the city landscape.
Urban Edible Aid, Oakland, CA
This version of the project was done while Alyssa was an artist-in-resident at Lobot Gallery in the industrial warehouse complex of West Oakland, CA. The piece showcases 19 of 33 known urban edible, weedy medicinal plants all of which were foraged from no more than a 3 block radius.
