Poison Garden issue #1: Purpose of Poison has arrived

For the Poison Garden’s first undertaking, we've explored the idea of poison itself

What we found is that the purpose of poison depends on who is centered in its story

It's a complex topic that changes with each shift in perspective. And it takes on many roles as ritual, as decay, as preservative, as heritage, as psychedelic, as environmental language. We’ve looked at poison in the hands of humans, within the landscapes that surround us, and even deep in the collections of a museum. We've seen how the very poison that can take a life is also the same one that can heal.
