You're invited to lie down🌷🌼🪻
"A Place to Rest" is inspired by California superblooms that erupt from scorched earth. I wanted to create a piece representing the human awakening that follows the total burnout so many of us are experiencing right now...
Although the artwork looks surreal, it could be a reality in California if not for invasive grasses and human activity, which have left less than 10% of native grasslands intact.
At the artwork's base lies a soft, tactile sanctuary made of green yarn and native wildflowers knitted by hand, offering a landing place where a tired mind can finally find refuge. I wanted to include this piece in the show as a tribute to my mom who raised me mostly as a single parent.🌱
Some of the native flowers depicted are: California Poppies, Owl's clover, Johnny Jump-ups and others💐
