Join artist Terri Whetstone at ARTsPLACE to see her show Ephemeral Allure.
Literally taking a page out of Redouté’s book, I re-purpose these vintage prints, contemporizing the scientific observation that botanical illustrations rely on, and assert that the fascination with the exotic in nature that has held us enthralled for a very long time is likely to remain alluring to us however transformed “Nature” ultimately becomes.
The botanical collages are intended as a cautionary tale and contain many of the concerns I am most interested in as an artist: composition, beauty, humour, erasure, appropriation, and historical knowledge and folklore re-contextualized and transformed by contemporary and
popular culture.
The title of the exhibition, “Ephemeral Allure”, references our fascination with flowering plants despite (or perhaps because of) their transitory existence and the emergent appeal that gardening (as recreation) holds for many in the first world.
