Petal Pushers
Marnie Fleming

Organized as a conduit between the gallery inside and the garden outside, this exhibition of four installation artists exploits the theme of nature and the passage of time through the use of flowers as readymades. The artists - David Merritt, Chrysanne Stathacos, Laura Vickerson and Tomiyo Sasaki - encourage the viewer to take an active role in the unfolding narratives and slow motion dramas which the various uses and juxtapositions of petals, pins and light elicit. Includes an essay by Fleming and statements by the artists.

Laura Vickerson: Trace
Leslie Dawn

An installation, created especially for the gallery, which addresses the ephemerality of human existence both thematically and through the use of fragile and unstable materials like glass, flower petals, and light. Dawn's essay considers Vicker's current installation individually as well as in relation to her larger body of work.
