“Many of us have house plants to beautify our living spaces; they clear the air we breathe, physically and mentally. They counteract the smooth, clean lines of white drywall – there is the hope that something belonging outside will make a room feel organic, effervescent. At Longwood Gardens, I felt that the orchids, fastened to a wall, and the Elephant’s Ear, large enough to blanket a small child, were the ones in need of an antidote to their nature. I’m hoping that Malachite not only highlights the plants, but also the deliberate, elegant structures of the windows and walls surrounding which surround them, where there is a need for both elements, and the aesthetics come full circle. ”
