Bontanica Verdigris; by local artist Megan Tierney
Dimensions: 24"x36
"This piece has elements that represent my journey over the last decade. When I started working at Revelry way back in the Barrett Avenue days, my work was fully focused on metal fabrication. I spent countless hours tinkering with jewelry and loved being able to see my pieces go to their new homes. Over the years my focus transitioned to flowers and now I spend endless hours tinkering in the garden. I became more and more fascinated with varieties of flowers that can be dried and enjoyed year round. It is so rewarding to extend the life of the plants that you’ve worked so hard to grow from seed. Fabricating wood to encapsulate the flowers is a medium that brings me so much joy and allows me to work side by side with my partner Joe.
This work represents the accession of my passions."
