Amöbe botanik is an independent, practice-based research space. Botanical installations explore how we move alongside place rather than impose upon it — creating shared, practice-led experiences that reveal the quiet richness of locality. Working with plants as collaborators, we gather seasonal matter which transforms into evolving installations. These works are less about finished forms and more about attention, encounter, and material correspondence. Amöbe botanik functions as an exhibition space and laboratory for learning, experimentation, and shared experience. Through workshops and open lab hours, participants are invited into a collective exploration of plant-led practice.

Amöbe botanik ist ein unabhängiger, praxisbezogener Raum für Forschung. Botanische Installationen erkunden, wie wir uns in, durch und neben Orte bewegen, ohne sie in Beschlag zu nehmen, so dass wir durch gemeinsame, praxisorientierte Erfahrungen ihren stillen Reichtum wahrnehmen. Pflanzen sind unsere Partner. Wir verarbeiten saisonale Materialien zu Installationen und Künstlereditionen. Was wir ausstellen, sind nicht Fertigprodukte; sie erzählen von Aufmerksamkeit, Begegnung und materieller Korrespondenz.&#38;nbsp;Amöbe botanik dient als Ausstellungsraum, als Laboratorium zum Lernen und Experimentieren. Hier werden Erfahrungen ausgetauscht. In Workshops und offenen Laborstunden erleben Teilnehmende eine von Pflanzen geführte Praxis.

Field notes// a small publishing platform devoted to plant- led and relational processes and practices. Micro features and reviews, practice conversations and process notes highlight practioners interested in the aliveness of another. Rather than traditional critique, field notes offers attentive observation, brief texts that highlight methods, gestures, and ways of working that open new forms of relation.



	Field Note 01 — Cynthia Fan

	We are very pleased to begin this element of amöbe botanik with a field note review of Cynthia Fan. I first discovered Cynthia through an article in Toast Magazine in 2025 and was struck by an image of her sewing a large coltsfoot leaf with red thread, while sitting in a tall green grass meadow. It was the liminial space she created in weaving the thread, the place and the leaf together in her making. As I have dived deeper into her work, I have been struck by her willingness to let the plants lead in the best sense. Cynthia’s curiosity and interest clearly drive her research, yet it is her trust, intuition, and sensitivity that shape the work and give space for the plants to work with her.

The breadth of her work varies, yet it is always relational. A compelling dimension of Cynthia’s practice lies in her sustained commitment to observation as a form of inquiry. Her work operates somewhere between plant-led practice, field study, and quiet scientific investigation.

Cynthia approaches observation as a disciplined attentiveness. Rather than seeking immediate results, the process unfolds slowly through repeated looking, recording, and testing. The plants themselves also participate in the process — whether through simple act of drying, wilting, changing form, or moving through seasonal states. This rhythm echoes the traditions of botanical study and natural history, where understanding emerges through long durations of noticing. In many aspects of her work, close observation functions as a tool for perceiving patterns that might otherwise remain invisible.

At the heart of her practice is an openness to experiment. Observation does not lead directly to finished artworks but instead generates a sequence of small trials: variations in mark, structure, scale, and rhythm. Through these experiments, whether it is their shadows, blooms or leaf shapes the artist explores how visual formations might mirror the growth patterns, structures, or transformations found in their plants systems. The work therefore sits in a fertile territory between artistic intuition and empirical curiosity. This sensibility is also beautifully expressed in her collaboration Pear-ed&#38;nbsp;with&#38;nbsp;Hayden Maylan. 

Cynthia’s background in plant science and floristry subtly informs this approach. Her research interests have included botanical structures and genetic expression — areas that already require close attention to morphology and change over time. This scientific sensibility carries into her artistic work, where thinking with plants becomes a way of tracing relationships between form, growth, and relational conditions. Working both academically and through residencies, the field itself becomes a kind of laboratory where observation generates new visual hypotheses.

What is striking about her various works and experiments is their quiet restraint, and minimal interventions. The works do not attempt to illustrate plants directly. Instead, they focus on the underlying logics of growth — branching, repetition, tension, and gradual transformation. Lines accumulate in delicate layers, suggesting the way organic structures emerge through incremental adjustments rather than dramatic gestures.

Through her practice, Cynthia transforms form through a process of thinking through making. Each mark becomes both record and question. What happens when a line bends in response to another? How does a pattern shift when repeated over time? What structures appear when attention is sustained long enough? And her often asked question what do the plants want? 

This process resonates strongly with contemporary practices that blur the categories of art and research. Rather than producing singular objects, the work foregrounds process as knowledge.&#38;nbsp;Observation becomes a generative state — one in which the artist participates in the slow unfolding of material and biological phenomena.

In this sense, her work invites viewers to reconsider the act of looking. Observation is no longer passive. It becomes an active relation between body, material, and environment. Her works operate as quiet records of this relationship, capturing moments where perception, curiosity, and experimentation meet.

Ultimately, Cynthia’s practice is grounded in patience. It reminds us that attention itself can be a creative act — one capable of opening unexpected pathways between art, science, and the living world.

		<description>The amöbe botanik membership is structured similarly to a bulbous plant. The flower appears just briefly, often in spring or fall and draws attention to the plant through color and smell. Each leaf gathers sunlight and provides energy for the plants process. The deeper bulbous structure of the plant holds energy and provides continous life and bloom. Amöbe botanik is a not for profit possibility creating value in different ways through membership, workshops, events, publishing, and artist edtions. Different forms of involvement from curiosity, observation &#38;nbsp;and installations, fosters plant led work and practice. Membership invites the possibility to participate in the process through contribution.

Field notes// &#38;nbsp;a small publishing platform devoted to plant- led and relational processes and practices. Micro features and reviews, practice conversations and process notes highlight practioners interested in the aliveness of another.&#38;nbsp;Rather than traditional critique, Field Notes offers&#38;nbsp;attentive observation — brief texts that highlight methods, gestures, and ways of working that open new forms of relation.


	Field Note 01 — Cynthia Fan

	We are very pleased to begin this element of amöbe botanik with a Field Note review of Cynthia Fan. I first discovered Cynthia through an article in Toast Magazine in 2025 and was struck by an image of her sewing a large coltsfoot leaf with red thread, while sitting in a tall green grass meadow. It was the liminial space she created in weaving the thread, the place and the leaf together in her making. As I have dived deeper into her work, I have been struck by her willingness to let the plants lead in the best sense. Cynthia’s curiosity and interest clearly drive her research, yet it is her trust, intuition, and sensitivity that shape the work and give space for the plants to work with her.

The breadth of her work varies, yet it is always relational. A compelling dimension of Cynthia’s practice lies in her sustained commitment to observation as a form of inquiry. Her work operates somewhere between plant-led practice, field study, and quiet scientific investigation.

Cynthia approaches observation as a disciplined attentiveness. Rather than seeking immediate results, the process unfolds slowly through repeated looking, recording, and testing. The plants themselves also participate in the process — whether through simple act of drying, wilting, changing form, or moving through seasonal states. This rhythm echoes the traditions of botanical study and natural history, where understanding emerges through long durations of noticing. In many aspects of her work, close observation functions as a tool for perceiving patterns that might otherwise remain invisible.

At the heart of her practice is an openness to experiment. Observation does not lead directly to finished artworks but instead generates a sequence of small trials: variations in mark, structure, scale, and rhythm. Through these experiments, whether it is their shadows, blooms or leaf shapes the artist explores how visual formations might mirror the growth patterns, structures, or transformations found in their plants systems. The work therefore sits in a fertile territory between artistic intuition and empirical curiosity. This sensibility is also beautifully expressed in her collaboration Pear-ed&#38;nbsp;with&#38;nbsp;Hayden Maylan. 

Cynthia’s background in plant science and floristry subtly informs this approach. Her research interests have included botanical structures and genetic expression — areas that already require close attention to morphology and change over time. This scientific sensibility carries into her artistic work, where thinking with plants becomes a way of tracing relationships between form, growth, and relational conditions. Working both academically and through residencies, the field itself becomes a kind of laboratory where observation generates new visual hypotheses.

What is striking about her various works and experiments is their quiet restraint, and minimal interventions. The works do not attempt to illustrate plants directly. Instead, they focus on the underlying logics of growth — branching, repetition, tension, and gradual transformation. Lines accumulate in delicate layers, suggesting the way organic structures emerge through incremental adjustments rather than dramatic gestures.

Through her practice, Cynthia transforms form through a process of thinking through making. Each mark becomes both record and question. What happens when a line bends in response to another? How does a pattern shift when repeated over time? What structures appear when attention is sustained long enough? And her often asked question what do the plants want? 

This process resonates strongly with contemporary practices that blur the categories of art and research. Rather than producing singular objects, the work foregrounds process as knowledge.&#38;nbsp;Observation becomes a generative state — one in which the artist participates in the slow unfolding of material and biological phenomena.In this sense, her work invites viewers to reconsider the act of looking. Observation is no longer passive. It becomes an active relation between body, material, and environment. Her works operate as quiet records of this relationship, capturing moments where perception, curiosity, and experimentation meet. Ultimately, Cynthia’s practice is grounded in patience. It reminds us that attention itself can be a creative act — one capable of opening unexpected pathways between art, science, and the living world.
