Swap Your Hibiscus for a Stunning Bromeliad at Women & Their Work Tonight
Now being displayed at Women & Their Work, Candace M. Briceño's latest exhibition, Nevermore, is a series of wall-mounted, hand-sewn felt sculptures, drawings on paper rendered with needle pricks, and paintings. The multi-colored works are linked by their common flora theme of flora -- things like discarded banana peels, pom-pom flower tops, and mushrooms -- and, according to Houston Museum of Fine Arts critic-in-residence Jeff M. Ward, denote a "sense of loss"; the "project of representing the natural world is as unobtainable for Briceño as it is for painting itself."
In conjunction with the Briceño installation, Women & Their Work is hosting a nifty summer plant exchange tonight:
Come with your extra cuttings, plugs, and/or plants, and leave with wonderful new additions for your garden. Those with plants will have first dibs on the exchange; any leftovers will be up for grabs. Don’t forget to bring any information about the plants you would like to swap, including care instructions.
They'll also be serving spicy basil lemonade.
Nevermore runs through July 29th.
