Frontera
Frontera incorporates patterns, plants, and flowers with connections to the southern border of the United States, Asia, and Europe. The suite of nineteen works on paper is intended to read as a series of portraits where the plants act as stand-ins for immigrants seeking a place to lay down roots. This series was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver as part of the Octopus Initiative, which places art in the hands of the public within the Denver metro area for ten months.
