Weeds Grow in All Directions: Weeds Grow in All Directions is an exhibition of my collage works and large-scale assemblages. Using everyday materials found in my daily life–plastic bags, packing paper, magazine cutouts, as well as rhinestones and textiles– I created otherworldly landscapes that prompt meditation on the destruction and resilience of the natural world. The works in the exhibition reward close looking—to find the extraordinary in the overlooked, to reconnect with energies around us, and to feel the pulse of our shared ecology through playful wonder and poignant reflection. In this body of work, the resilient weed is both metaphor and guide, challenging our perceptions of the disregarded and revealing the quiet spirit inherent in all natural matter.
