Sandra's Inspiration for Her Art Installation: Two to Flower

The farm has become a sacred and healing space for my soul, particularly during the pandemic. As I observed insects, flowers, and families interacting with nature at my CSA pick up slot, I found inspiration for my art. The influence of this experience led me to focus on printing flowers, vegetable skins, and weeds, capturing the essence of the farm's vibrant ecosystem.

During my creative inspiring farm visits, I contemplated the history of the Pawtucket people who once inhabited this land. Their practice of periodically moving to new clearings, allowing their fields to rest and naturally renew nutrients through crop rotation, resonated with the sustainable farming practices employed today. This reflection prompted me to consider indigenous cultures in South America, my birthplace, and their potential similarities to the Pawtucket people. Read more, download here announcement brochure.
