'Posies'

November’s First Friday will feature the work of Alix Garcia. Alix uses illustration and floral taxonomy to create a language of flowers.

Drinks will be available with suggested donation.

Posies is an emotional deadheading — the working through of unaddressed feelings in order to promote personal growth. Inspired by nature and fantasy, the pieces of Posies depict whimsical, diaristic expressions of unresolved emotions and unrealized ideals, materializing as small, simple, yet slightly cryptic narrative illustrations.

Posies focuses heavily on symbolism via floral taxonomy and floriography — the language of flowers. The flowers featured are real, pressed and preserved, retaining the manifestation of sentiment. They serve as the focus of each story, influencing the accommodating illustrations both in form and function. While visually distinct from each other, together they create a diary of current reflections on past, stagnant emotions, offering an opportunity for reflection.
