In the exhibition, Learning to love you more, botanical imagery is presented to elucidate the metaphorical significance of the garden as it relates to the ways we interact with one’s self, one another, and our surroundings. Gardens are worlds in and of themselves. As experiential spaces, they provide moments of reverie and contemplation where the self can be known and understood. This series of works, ranging in scale and surface, explores the minutiae of gestures and actions found within these transcendent spaces. Hands converge with flora blurring the lines between botanical and bodily. The act of a leaf unfurling mimicking the gentle caress of fingers. The actions of digging in soil or tending to a growing being are indistinguishable from the gestures of intimacy, care, and longing. The ways in which we cultivate the landscape lends to our understanding of the ways in which we participate as beings. The garden is a mirror, one that shows us the details of our intimacies.
