The yellow and red poppies on the white blocks on the quilt that forms the background were likely printed. Their colors are echoed in the arrangement of yellow, orange, and red nasturtiums in a bowl on the table. Text written for the exhibition 'Lingua Flora,' on view from June 21–September 8, 2024.
