In Bloom by Anna Schuleit

Slated for demolition, the Massachusetts Mental Health Center needed one final poignant goodbye before it faded from collective memory forever, so artist Schuleit decided to bring life to the hallways, offices, stairwells, and rooms that would soon be gone by “planting” 28,000 flowers on almost every square inch of floor in the doomed building. A reminder that life goes on, but we all contributed a small part.

This piece that I’ve been working on forever has finally come to a halt, not only to meet the deadline, but I couldn’t make up my mind about it. Initially the palette was very aged and the composition would twist in on itself, but had then turned into a lush, much denser field of colours. I wanted to convey the idea of having a picture within a picture to represent memory, and have these strands of colour act as maybe triggers or the make up of a memory. It was working quite well during the middle when I had the orange and purples offset the surrounding green background, but in the end I feel it was just too laboured and half successful.
