Going with the Flow, 2020

Paper Pulp, Tea, Chamomile Seeds, Lilac Seeds, Pasta

Going with the Flow is a collaborative art project with the participants of the Thursday group at Expressions, a therapeutic day program for individuals with memory loss at Advocate Lutheran General Outpatient Center. The words on the handmade seed papers convey what each participant brings into the group and what they are willing to give to the group. Chamomile and lilac seeds were chosen to be embedded because they are companion plants; they help each other grow when planted close to one another. The encouraging, supportive, and loving nature of the group mimics that of the companion plants, thereby fostering growth and positivity within the group.
