My mom said to always have flowers around
by Taylor Yocum
Exhibition Dates: March through September 2022
Location: Post-Security, Concourse West Wall
As part of a daily practice in Spring 2020, I created a diptych collage each day: one of flowers in a vase, another of the scraps the cut-outs left behind. These flowers and shapes from 1950’s Better Homes and Gardens issues stem from the desire for routine and comfort in uncertain times.
