Traveling Exhibition

In Lieu of Flowers Traveling Exhibition by Laurie Peek

I can provide an exhibition with the working title of In Lieu of Flowers (or Laurie Peek Botanicals) addresses issues of memory, love and loss, as well as the healing power of creative activity. Since everybody has experienced some kind of loss and its attendant grief, I feel this body of work has universal appeal and poignancy. 

I have about 46 framed images, 38 gilded (with gold, gold- or silver metallic leaf on verso) prints, both vertical and horizontal to choose from, as well as 8 larger, framed edge-to-edge “33 x 25”paper prints (not gilded) which can be combined to create a varied and dynamic layout on the walls.

About the In Lieu of Flowers Exhibition:

The images themselves are composite digital photographs of plants, mostly from my garden, sometimes combined with alternative processes such as lumens, cyanotypes, and anthotypes.  Some are printed on fine-art paper and some are printed on vellum gilded with gold, gold-toned or silver-toned metallic leaf on the backs. Influenced by my practice of Chinese Brush Painting, as well as my fascination with abstraction, layers and the natural world, my botanical images speak to the ephemerality of life and the inescapability of love and loss.
