Recollect (2019)
Dairy Arts Center — Boulder, CO
pressed flowers, mirror
Recollect, made of thousands of hand collected/pressed flowers from the Rocky Mountain region, is an expression of our collective atavistic memory. Our inherent attraction to flowers comes partially from a necessity to identify and remember locations of late-season, fresh fruit marked by early spring blossoms. Mirrors signify the universal allure of objects that shine, which would have signaled a water source in ancient times. This installation is a visual articulation of gratitude for how these primitive impulses based on survival, manifest today in recreation, solace and wonderment when connecting to land.
