ARTISAN edisi 1 Artisan Issue 1-PRESS | Page 20

Artisan is a part of an aesthetic project initiated by Stanislaus Yangni, writer and founder of Papier & Herbs. Artisan explores a form of aesthetics that tries to articulate our everydayness in relation to space, place, people, landscape, food, travel, time, etc. Aesthetics is commonly associated to beauty, which is identical with art (visual). Artisan wants to invite us to enter another realm that is often forgotten or even ignored in aesthetics. We want to look at everyday life from which the energy of creation comes. Papier & Herbs is a brand that produces herbal tea aka tisane and smoking herbs blend. By exploring herbs, smellscape, and human journey through tisane as a medium, we try to find different perspectives to understand the cultural conditions of humanity in relation to nature, landscape, and their migrate body.
