In the spring and summer of 2022, artist Rick Silva 3D-scanned living plants throughout the Pacific Northwest — in university greenhouses, coastal redwoods, the high desert, and the Cascade mountains. Following this field work, Silva grafted and pruned the digitized plants into an eternal hyper-flora that rotates and slices through a fog of atmospheric lights. His eerie vegetal forms hover at the edges of representation and abstraction, digital and organic, familiar and alien.
