Coyote Flowers | Frayed Being
Coyote Flowers uses Salvador Dalí’s surrealism to create a landscape that, probably due to the artist’s history in the world of theatre and performance, is suggestive of a scene that reinterprets the Patio de Columnas courtyard. Lauren Sellen needs very few elements to convey her message: a scarce variety of exquisite flowers, a limited range of colours, organic silhouettes that seem to disappear…
Dalí merged parts of different beings into one, and was in turn able to make objects with no apparent connection coexist graciously in endless empty places. Coyote picks up these idea to launch a message of coexistence between fantasy beings and species, however distant they might seem.
“The path of flowers touches the ground, the water and sky. Demonstrating how one species’ environment leads to another, everything is connected. And we are all existing together at the same time as multi-species.”
(Coyote Flowers)
