A debut collaboration between David Kappy and Cameron Krow, There are flowers growing in the rust and silt (I live here now) is a sculptural work constructed of materials gathered in Albuquerque's Rio Grande bosque, predominantly textiles discarded or forgotten by the city's unsheltered population. These materials were then sorted, washed, processed, and finally intuitively woven into a form indicative of a womb, nest, or nicho. The piece is an exploration of what it means to forge a life from the broken pieces of the hostile and messy world we've inherited, and also considers themes of place, refuge, transmutation, abandonment, and consumerism
