Résumé
This is a detailed narrative about a community-building art installation exhibited in a downtown park near Seattle, WA. The artist describes her process of creating the exhibit and her reasons for exploring individualism and collectivism through the medium of seeds.
Details include the wild foraging of seeds in an urban area with a traditional seed farmer, and hand- building recyclable seed pod sculptures in which she invites visitors to create mini-pods as add-ons for the larger pieces. Thus, symbolically connecting the individual to the collective consciousness. This art project took place in the summer and fall of 2024.
