Fabric, paper, buttons, balloons, popsicle sticks, thread, ramune bottle, robe, wildflower seeds, water, glass container

This piece is made from a previously constructed white top, and hand-sewn, nearly floor-length, sleeves attached to the shoulder straps. The top is adorned with cardstock and foam flowers that I created, attached with a button and embroidery floss. From the flowers are some additional hanging flora, mostly made from paper and balloons. There are also two macramé holders with a water-filled vase and a wildflower seed dispenser

During this repetitive performance piece, I dispense a small amount of wildflower seeds onto a clear patch of land. After spreading the seeds, I pour water over the seeds. After doing this action, I revisit the locations that I planted and document the flower’s growth.
