J.W. Fike’s Photographic Survey of the Wild Edible Botanicals of the North American Continent
Jimmy Fike is the third and final artist selected for the 2025-2026 ENTRY GALLERY PROJECT SPACE season. Preceded by Jimmy Descant (August 2 – October 5, 2025) and Catherine Nash (October 11 – December 14, 2025).
“Since 2007, I’ve been creating a photographic archive depicting North America’s rich trove of wild comestible flora. I have completed fieldwork in sixteen different states, so far, and have amassed a collection of over one hundred and seventy-five specimens.
My goal is to mount biome specific exhibitions across the United States. This exhibition features over twenty wild edible plants found in Arizona.
By employing a system that makes it easy to identify both the plant and its edible parts, the images work as reliable guides for foraging. This concrete, functional aspect of the project directs viewers to free food that can be used for sustenance, or as raw material for creative economies. Recognizing plants anew outside the gallery or eating the plants is, in itself, art.”
