PROGRESS/COME UNDONE
Here is a flower cave facing the northern woods. Structure built
from willows and birch saplings collected from the woods and
roadside. Skin of sheets and räsymatto from the second hand shop
and recycling center. Inside a wooden raised platform covered
with rugs and wool blankets. Lit by tiny lights. Warmed by rocks
collected from the woods and heated on the sauna steps. Flowers
hunted on several trips to town. Branches cut and brought inside
to begin budding. Visited by one or two at a time on a beautiful
dark and snowy night. Made out of heartbreak, transformed into
joy.
