Due to popular demand, Selby Gardens is extending British contemporary artist Rebecca Louise Law’s installation Survival through Sunday, January 11 at the Downtown Sarasota campus! This immersive installation features preserved flowers collected by Law over the past twenty years, and includes flowers and plant material from Selby Gardens’ very own bayfront sanctuaries!
In Rebecca’s own words, “Marie Selby Botanical Gardens has taken my breath away with its devotion to conservation. Preservation is present throughout both campus locations… I was touched by the hands that work with nature and the minds that have devoted their lives to care for this earth. A word came to mind whilst studying the array of plants in the collection – Survival. I have always been fascinated by the flower and its ability to evolve and attract. I have also been obsessed with our human relationship with the earth and our struggle to find a peaceful balance. It is all survival. The natural world is striving to survive and the physical and spiritual connection we have with nature is essential for our own survival.”
