About
This series depicts floral forms exploring contained spaces throughout the seasons. The artist decided to work with wildflowers local to the area, representing strength, resilience, and growth by numbers. The movements of these wildflowers grow, adapt, and interact with one another, as well as their containers. Inspired by team sports, the desire was to capture the energy and movements though playful interaction and competition. The container shapes are inspired by both the architecture and the lines and arcs from soccer fields.
The three locations explore different types of interactions: the South murals focus on play; the East murals focus on contrast and tension, representing competition; and the West mural is a more intimate reflection of growth and potential.
