I am honoured to be part of a group exhibition for the month of May 2025 in the botanic garden of Marnay Sur Seine. My piece is based on a poem SEEDS AND GARDENS , by - R.H. Swaney
If words are seeds,
let flowers grow
from your mouth,
not weeds.
If heart are gardens,
plant those flowers
in the chest of the ones
who exist around you.
GRAINES ET JARDINS
Si les mots sont des graines,
Laisser pousser les fleurs
De ta bouche,
Pas les mauvaises herbes.
Si le cœur est des jardins,
Plante ces fleurs
Dans la poitrine de ceux
Qui existent autour de vous.
Instead of drawing words and images, I choose to play with the third request for the show, a weather- proof piece that will be outside for the entire month of May. I created many layers using natural dyes and watercolors. As the weather changes, wind, sun, rain and perhaps other surprises, my work will change and reveal hidden drawings using resist techniques. I am looking forward to seeing how this piece will change over the month.
