Overview

Pieced Silk and LED Light | Five Panels: 48″H x 36″ W x 3″D

Goals

As a reaction to the demise of pollinators, the concept goal was to create an expression of turmoil and emotional instability alongside the beauty of flower-bee relationships.

Process

"The Screaming Dreams of Flowers" is a pairing of textile art and LED light. Arbitrary placement of colors and shapes within the composition are a result of Carson's signature sewing technique. Pattern and visual texture give reference to bee and flower imagery. Placing the work on a light box allows the seams to be amplified, providing a linear element beyond the glowing colors of the silk fabric. The colors and composition of the artwork read differently in day/night, and lit/unlit conditions.
