Bloom States brings together new works by Benjamin Langford, Travis Boyer, and Joseph Jones—three artists who approach the motif of the flower through distinct material and conceptual lenses. The exhibition explores how a single subject can unfold into states of beauty, memory, and transformation.
Benjamin Langford’s dimensional wall sculptures begin with thousands of photographed blooms, meticulously composited, printed, cut, and painted to create hyperreal botanical constructions that hover between illusion and object. Travis Boyer’s hand-dyed velvet works shimmer with shifting hues, their floral forms animated by light, movement, and the sensual tactility of fabric. Joseph Jones’ intimate paintings layer references from 17th-century still lifes to everyday snapshots, producing dense, meditative compositions that reward prolonged looking.
In Bloom States, the flower is never static—it changes with the medium, the artist’s hand, and the viewer’s gaze.
