Title: Regrowth // Artist: Harper Hanson
about the piece
| This work was created using a live plant picked from a neighbor’s yard. Placed on a black background, this plant was picked before the first snow of the year and was made to document the growth of the plant before it died. These plants (Salix candida) are resilient, blooming in late winter. This piece is a metaphor for coming upon hard times and then representing the season’s regrowth after a long and cold winter. |
