Resilience
I find myself continually drawn to metaphors found in plants and flowers. In the Resilience collection, featuring bright yellow dandelions, I explore the audacity of flowers classified as weeds. Among the first to show up each spring, these uninvited dandelions bloom exclusively for themselves and without shame. From sidewalk cracks to lush lawns, they choose to thrive and grow in whatever environment they are given.
Remaining pieces in this collection at available at PxP Contemporary.
Art Meets Food
The dandelion collection was first released at an Art Meets Food event titled Resilience. Artists Emily Mullet and Cynthia Oswald teamed up with Chef Justin Vickers to create an art and dining experience. The brewery was transformed into a popup gallery with art displayed on the walls and integrated into the surroundings through textiles and various design elements. The menu featured specialty cocktails and food items curated to match the art.
