Field Art from Wilder Quarterly

 

Friends! You know what a big lover and admirer I am of Wilder Quarterly (I am fairly certain that you too are such grand fans)! Well they are having a really inspiring kickstarter project to create artist residencies in different cities all in the name of nature and art. After my own heart! Please take a moment to have a look at what they are trying to set free into the universe and give a buck or two? C'mon, when do I ever ask this of you? So excited for this! ;)

I Heart Wilder (Bigtime)

Happy Spring, doves! If you know me then you know that I love Wilder Quarterly and all things it represents. I have a wonderful little collection of their quarterly journals stacked by my bed. I was and still am so humbled about this write up on their site! Read more here.

Thank you so much Celestine + Wilder Quarterly.

Sometime this past summer I got a very kind request from Wilder Quarterly to work on a creation for two sisters that are notorious in the fashion world for not liking the word 'beautiful' and for being known as highly conceptual/creative and needless to say (without saying their name): two of my very favs! Furthermore, they are major players in the fashion world. Basically, this all translates down to dream assignment. I knew that these two sisters would appreciate more than just the wild (and dare I say beautiful) bounty of a wildflower bouquet. I needed something more. Something living and kind of strange and maybe even science-y and basically I wanted something that could live in their space and continue to encourage creativity. Hopefully something they had never received before. So I made them kokedamas! A giant staghorn fern took center stage and then I made two supporting members to create a little family of kokedamas. I put a lot of time and love into them. I wanted them to emanate good vibes. Overall, when all was said and done, I was extremely proud of this little family of ferns that I had created. I'd like to think that right now they are hanging in these sisters' studio and spreading good vibes all around. I couldn't have asked for a cooler project. This is what I am all about with TIGERS to LILIES.

Celestine and Wilder Quarterly, I am so honored. Thank you so much*

These are some shots of the three as a bunch. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. They looked absolutely spectacular as a family, or simply elegant hanging individually. This was an absolute pleasure to create and a dream job, really. Thank you so much Celestine and Wilder Quarterly. You have my heart alright*
