Bundle, 2024
Dandelions, bound and unbound. 20x4x4’’

Bundle consists of dandelions that were collected and dried with my son during a residency, and brought back home in a tube. When the cords that tied the bundle of dandelions were undone, the bundle retained its shape. Bundle slowly expands during the exhibition, stems separating and falling off here and there. The object carries a strong scent of dandelions.

“The stems of Bundle—a collection of dried dandelions gathered with her child—hold the indentation of their binding. These unbound stems gesture towards release, but they remain held together out of convention. Tamer describes this as a pause: “the period after events that shift everything and both destruction but also unbinding happens, and before people actually start questioning old attachments, old ways of relating.”” Katie Belcher, Drawn Down, Drawn Closer
