SEEK Raleigh
A project inspired by Carolina Lupine, a native herbaceous perennial - Pullen Arts Center - Raleigh - 2025
Interactive Artwork Installation
"Lupine Love" is a soft sculpture inspired by the Carolina Lupine (Thermopsis villosa), a native herbaceous perennial with upright clumping bulbs.
Bringing the Sculpture into Bloom
This was an interactive installation and performance where the audience was invited to bring the sculpture into bloom. The base of the flower will be bare in the beginning, but the audience performs the "blooming" by placing small, separate bulbs of their choosing into the open slots of the tall base sculpture.
