Mythological stories often carry the motifs of an underworld-dwelling divinity emerging into the light, as frost-covered earth once again becomes teaming with life. This myth is reinterpreted within Parsons’s work through the use of screen-based media and technology. In this solo exhibition, Kate Parsons will show a series of floral sculptures made of discarded cemetery flowers, fresh flowers, and yard refuse, alongside two new video works and a virtual reality prototype. The Dark Spring focuses on themes of mortality as a meditation on the passing of time and the celebration of the natural cycle of death and rebirth. An excess of color, beauty and decay is portrayed in the artist’s’ distinctive electro-Victorian sensibility.
