One of the challenges of the new series I’m showing at Berlin
Bar (show opens Thurs, Nov 7, 7-9) is getting fresh flowers and leaves in the
colors I need for the current work. I forage the streets for fallen blossoms,
and there are a few kindly flower-sellers in town that let me pick through
their leftover petals and the random broken stem, and who are patient with my
buying just one or two flowers.
I confess to the occasional vandalism: Sometimes if I come across just the color I
need (sometimes it is a very particular shade or shape), I furtively grab a
blossom in passing. One of the best
sources is my friends’ gardens (thank you Sheridan, Maggie, Anado and Richard,
Leigh), not only because they so amiably accept my pillaging, but sometimes
they feed me and offer tequila.
