Artist Statement:
"How is it you can all talk so nicely?' Alice said, hoping to get it into a better temper by a compliment.
'I’ve been in many gardens before, but none of the flowers could talk.’
‘Put your hand down, and feel the ground,’ said the Tiger-lily. ‘Then you’ll know why.’
Alice did so. ‘It’s very hard,’ she said, ‘but I don’t see what that has to do with it.’
‘In most gardens,’ the Tiger-lily said, ‘they make the beds too soft—so that the flowers are always asleep."
About the Artist:
Kelly Elizabeth Watson's site-reactive, material-driven works are a dialogue with the seasons, cycles and biological inhabitants of the living world. She masterfully uses color and form to evoke feelings while manipulating perception of scale and space. An observer of the pattern and processes of nature, skillfully mapping the connections between self, both past and present.
Her work focuses our experiences of systemic trauma, grief, change, and the ways in which we other the natural world: how we carry our personal and collective trauma and reflect it onto the world around us and how that is a reflection of the natural processes of growth and decay.
