“Black and white art takes away some of the ‘fuss’ of what an image can be and strips it down to the essentials. We are gifted with seeing form, composition, and naked shapes that make up what the subject it. Plus, black goes with anything and is my favorite color.” —Nikki

COMMUNITY BOTANICALS
November - February 2020
I put out a call via instagram, facebook, and email to friends, acquaintances, and strangers to send me an image of a flower or plant that meant something to them. Each print came from a story. Ranging from ‘peonies make me smile’ to ‘Joey bought me a carnation on our first date when I was 16’. I enjoyed learning about each memory or feeling someone had associated with a botanical. I displayed them collectively in my solo exhibition, ‘Growing Vertically, Together’. Ironically, this was the last in-person exhibition I had before covid lock down in Seattle. Each card- sized print is made using a single block woodcut with letterpress hand-set type.
