MOURNING FLOWERS (SUPPORT)
Mourning Flowers is an art project that brings awareness to the ripple effects of trauma and fear that communities sustain after acts of violence.
“It is really beautiful and powerful work. It’s a sort of emotional, yet logical … Intimate, yet expansive culmination of many themes you explore in your work.” Ali Cashman

I am now raising funds to expand the 🤟🏽(ILY) Gardens beyond the proof-of-concept stage, ensuring the project can take root as a long-term, accessible public space for healing and connection. These funds will support the next phase of design, community planting and maintenance along the Lewiston–Auburn riverfront. This work continues my long-standing commitment to building community through art. The Gardens invite everyone—especially those often left out of art-making or art-experiencing—to participate, creating a shared space of natural beauty, resilience, and relationship across the Lewiston–Auburn community.
