Cultivated Ethos

2022

Hand-dyed textiles with natural and synthetic dyes on recycled and natural fibers. Created to provide a moment of calm along the busy Main Street corridor-- while also reflecting the street’s new growth. The fabric plants in the installation are stylized versions of plants I’ve observed growing in wilderness, backyards, plant stores, private gardens, and cracks of the urban sidewalks. They all come together in the same space to examine the human impulse to gather, constrain, cultivate, and interfere with nature.
