Gardeners(2021)
Gardeners is about both looking back and looking forward, about motherhood and parenting, yes, but more about the new relationships we form with ourselves as we become parents. Throughout the work floral subject and patterned or painted background vie for attention. Symmetry is ever present, but always slightly off, never perfect, a balance between the organic and the structured, a metaphor for well laid plans and reality. There is a focus on the new and fresh floral centerpiece but always present competition from an active background, who you were and who you are becoming, that two things can be true at the same time and that the only constant is growth.
