While applying to the Hood Artist Residency at the Allerton Park and Retreat Center, I created a fortune teller to further understand how the land might have appeared to Robert when he was twenty-five, his first summer at The Farms (1898), before he built the grand house and started the formal gardens, and how Robert and the land appear to me now (2025).
Flexing the fortune teller, opening and closing the petals. What is seen? What is waiting to be revealed? How are we shaped by our environment? What is universal? What is deeply personal?
See the project page for more about my working with fortune tellers.
