Join us for a walkthrough of Jordan Casteel: "Covering the holes in our walls with sunflowers" with Jordan Casteel and Elizabeth Alexander.

Borrowing its title from Alice Walker’s 1974 essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” recent portraits, landscapes and vignettes muse on the artist’s garden in the Hudson Valley as a reservoir for acts of resilience and vulnerability. Buds are transformed into bounties and personal reflection into a communal experience. The legacies of her cultivations are suspended in time as symbols of survival–of thriving. As Walker put it, “...whatever rocky soil she landed on, she turned into a garden.”

Covering the holes in our walls with sunflowers is on view at Casey Kaplan (121 W 27th St., New York, NY) through January 10.
