About the Artwork

In March of 2020, I was teaching at the New York Botanic Garden with a dreamy literary launch ahead of me: a book party in London, time with my son in Paris, followed by a celebration on the publication day of Cultivated: The Elements of Floral Style at a small château in France. As bookshops closed the world over and my sadness settled into grief, I struggled to create beauty from my garden. One day, I saw this old box in my studio. It’s a fruit crate, maybe six inches deep with slats for a back. I came to see it as a form of containment and safety—a defined space to function within, mirroring my life in the pandemic.
