midnight garden features artwork from members of Holding Space, an artist collective making poetry out of anything and creating room to bloom in the dark. the exhibit on view at chicory naturalist evokes the organic, the messy, the simultaneously sensitive and resilient nature of aliveness. each artist presents a nuanced softness, illuminating the horror of being seen: the hidden corners of the self, the rotten parts we may try to conceal or forget. in the garden, we make space for shadows, composting & metabolizing the rotten into the lush – turning inside out and allowing the moon to illuminate the tender process.
