1	Between the Garden and the Gardener Lindsay, Sara Lynne 20 May 2022 (has links) My work uses plant material and soil as a record of personal, cultural, and ecological history. History is not only held in the buildings and monuments, but in the soil itself. I gather this soil and foliage from both cultivated and uncultivated locations for my artwork. Using traditional domestic techniques of drying and canning, I preserve the materials that I have gathered. These will then be sewn together, cooked, and encrusted into objects. Despite my labor of preserving, these organic art supplies are transient. When made into works of art, they can be viewed in their vulnerable state, fighting against time, as they decay. . art sculpture installation craft collect preserve glean flowers foliage place sewing sowing soil plants ground drying canning decay generations cycles nurture environment memory garden gardening gardener Fine Arts
