Kaff Miriam was one of three major new works that Anna Lucas was commissioned to make for her solo exhibition, Here and Your Here, which ran at FACT from 30 June - 19 August 2007.

Kaff Miriam translates as Hand of Mary and can be found in the deserts of the Middle East. It is an ancient plant - known as the Rose of Jericho - whose bud dry bud can survive many years until enough rain falls and it blooms again.
