plantsssssssssssssssssssss is a group exhibit turning – eyes to – and – hands to – placing on a pedestal – a plant narrative and plant agency, especially that which they exert over humans.
plant idolization is subversion of a status quo narrative that dominates plants and renders them inert, invisible and potentially extinct (consequently to the demise of the humans themselves). In response to these insensitive green tendencies of people, the works in this exhibit poetically invoke and honor planthood as a self-determined vibrant presence that exerts an aura and power over humans.
