Lavender & Green Carnation delves into the rich history and enduring significance of symbols that have quietly connected and empowered the LGBTQ+ community, especially during periods of societal or political repression. By exploring these queer symbols and the symbolism used in an artist's story telling, Lavender & Green Carnation not only honors their historical significance but also prompts us to consider how we can draw on these lessons of resilience and solidarity in today's shifting political climate.
Sea Heart / Beach Garbage is a collection of doodle collages made during winter when colors are rare and visible life even rarer. Milwaukee Artist Victoria Robison is inspired by plants visited under microscopes, beachcombing, and hoarding tendencies as well as a desire to color in lines of her own creation. Together these pieces constitute an adult coloring book written by lonely amoebas reaching for signs of spring.
