Echoes of Bloom

Artist Statement

The project started in the depths of COVID when NYC was in lockdown and veiled in fear and uncertainty, when all of my work dried up. I was sharing a studio and creative space with a close friend who was also an event planner and florist, so our creative space was typically filled with flowers (in various states of decay), and I always admired the beauty of the flower (like most people), but especially the forms they would take when they slowly crinkled, bent and morphed into these dried shapes after their death. I decided to do a personal project, something I am not known for doing, and began photographing these interesting and beautiful shapes and textures the flowers made. I would often walk home after sundown from my studio, and during the Spring in NYC, the streets and parks become filled with blossoming trees and the tulips would begin to pop out of almost every flower planter in the city. I would often pick these flowers (much to the city’s dismay), and I discovered tulips are a beautiful candidate for this Dead Flower Series. They have hearty petals that hold beautiful abstract shapes in death, and their colors become much richer, too. Fast forward several years, and I meet my love, Kyle - a winemaker living in San Francisco and we had the opportunity to combine our two art forms: these flowers were the custom local art labels for the wine he makes for a winery called Woods based in San Francisco. The full 2023 vintage of wines - 12 varietals - showcase these images, and thus began the rebirth of these dead flowers. From a time of loss and sadness, to the hopeful metaphor of blooms in the Spring, to the inevitable death of the flower, to the rebirth of it’s beauty in the still image in digital form, to several years of dormancy as they slowly become forgotten in a computer, to the reimergence of the images printed on wine labels for a local urban population, to the large format printing of these flowers to be hung and viewed for the forseeable future. So many times have the echoes of these blooms come to and from places of sadness to areas of hope, slowly transforming and growing into what they are now. They are more than just dead flowers, but a project of growth and exploration.
