Pink
Fall 2022
Yupo paper and acrylic

My favorite house in the Lyman Conservatory is the Warm Temperate House. The colors in the room drew me in, and I love the pinks and oranges there. Pink is my absolute favorite color. It is so vibrant and energetic that matching it with a drooping silhouette felt attractive to me.

A Little Snack
Fall 2022
Altered cork from the Smith Arboretum, reed and tissue

The Succulent House most inspired me during our tour of the plant houses. I find the rosette shape and spiky leaves. When we looked for fallen sticks and tree limbs, I found a piece of cork that had been eaten up by bugs and was on the verge of rotting. I wanted to emulate that same feeling of bug bites in my sculpture.
