Influenced by my East Coast upbringing and appreciation of botany, I invited both emerging and well-known artists from the U.S., Canada and abroad in to study ideas of botanical life forms in their wintery states of hardening, dormancy and decay. The show hung in January 2015 at Rare Device in San Francisco, and featured ten artists working in a variety of styles and mediums, including collage, pen and ink, textiles, linoleum block printing, ceramics, and more.
Participating artists:
Jo Boyer
Anna Branning
Alejandro Chavetta

Danielle Krysa
