I first spoke of the work of Gina Dawson when I saw it as part of a group show, Boundry Proof, at the Guest Spot Art Space in Baltimore. She created these amazing miniature funeral wreathes made out of paper. The text on the banners were extracted from rejection letters, which Gina had embroidered:
Checking in on Gina’s work, I found discovered her newest endeavor — the creation of flowers out of paper and placement in unexpected places. Small wildflowers placed in the cracks of buildings, and greenery installed on rocks. These small additions to the landscape really make the passerby more aware and conscious of the space and make it feel a bit more precious. I’m reminded of the Dispatchwork project but with an organic twist.
