From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Dominant colour
Physalis Franchetii is a 2012 by Janet Wilson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows dried plants with thin stems and papery husks. The colors are mostly browns and tans, with a few greenish stems. The shapes look delicate but slightly crumpled, like they’re pressed between pages. The artist focused on how light hits the textures—some parts catch light, others stay shadowy. The title *Physalis Franchetii* names the real plant species shown here. Check out Wilson, Janet for more of her plant-based prints.
An etching by Janet Wilson from 2012 shows five orange physalis fruits enclosed in their characteristic papery husks. The work is signed, titled, and numbered by the artist.
