As a special addition to Petal Power on opening night, several floral arrangements created by area florists will be placed around the gallery. Each floral arrangement will be inspired by a specific work in the exhibition. Donating florists include Green Wood Flowers, Mrs. Morgan’s Flower Shop, Tryforos & Pernice Florists, and Delphinium Designs. Artist, Jane McNichol, said it beautifully: “I love that time of year…. its beginnings are always so fragile and tenuous. It’s those beginnings that offer just a bit of hope that things will grow and later, thrive. In that early spring, we can never quite conceive that the strength of summer will really get here. So, sometimes, tender makes the day.”
This raw and riotous season is a good metaphor for our current political climate of clashing discordant ideals. We trust, like nature itself, out of chaos good ideas will spawn, take root and mature. Appreciating the repetition of nature’s cycle, the beauty that comes of it and those who render it, provide us solace and hope.
