PALERMO Una storia ispirata alla città e alla sua natura. E, in particolare, al Museo delle Maioliche – Stanze al Genio.

Piante di Palermo: come le maioliche sparse per la città, la natura a Palermo è varia e colorata (e si trova in luoghi improbabili). Fiori ed erbe spuntano da vecchi edifici, riportando vita alla pietra fatiscente. Cactus del nuovo mondo crescono sulla bigiotteria nei negozi turistici. Fichi di Strangler provenienti da lontane foreste pluviali gettano ombra nei parchi di Palermo. Ibride zucche gocciolano dalle viti nei giardini botanici. Vasi nei vicoli esplodono di uccelli del paradiso. Agrumi e fichi offrono i loro frutti a mani affamate. E la città riposa all’ombra del monte.

About Holly McKelvey

I’m a science explorer and illustrator! Let me clarify that: my academic background is in the sciences, specifically in geology and environmental sciences, and I am currently training in illustration & storytelling to work in visual science communication. That means drawing comics, illustrations, doodles, contributing to short animations and more, in order to communicate science topics – and more! That “more” includes my travels and adventures. I have moved around a lot (from California to Scotland to Costa Rica to France to Germany and now to Denmark), and like to document my adventures in the form of watercolours and comic panels. I especially like to look at how the places I visit are shaped by their local environmental and geological influences, and am currently working on a several-page comic on my experience of environment through place. I'm Kiel, Germany & Viborg, Denmark.
