Only Eight of Each
When we launched Herbs Malaya in April this year, I created a series of original acrylic paintings inspired by the herbs and ingredients that have always been part of my kitchen.
LISETTE
I took these familiar plants, deconstructed them and enlarged them, looking at their flowers, leaves, stems and extraordinary shapes in a completely different way. Things I cook with all the time suddenly became something else entirely when taken out of the kitchen and put onto canvas.
And now we’re adding five more to the series: lengkuas, asam jawa, halia, bunga lawang and moringa. Galangal, tamarind, ginger, star anise and moringa, transformed from something familiar into something to hang on your wall.
We’re printing just eight of each illustration. They’ll be available framed or unframed from our Penang store, and we can also ship them anywhere in the world.
So if you have a particular love for halia, can’t cook without lengkuas, or simply think bunga lawang is one of nature’s most perfect shapes, now is your chance.
Only eight of each. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
