About the Item

Elizabeth Alexander's Forever Blooms series represents her first foray into creating her own wallpaper. This comes as a natural progression of her practice, which often uses vintage found wallpaper. In this work, however, she creates her own pattern using gouache paintings of flowers from her own garden. Each flower would be painted at various stages of decay, cut out, and placed within the final composition, resulting in a work that beautifully traces the stages of life and beyond. Drawing from her own story, with a loving yet tumultuous working-class upbringing at its heart, Elizabeth Alexander works to unpack the social, cultural, and psychological pressures within American domesticity. Raised to see the possibility in found or unwanted things, she rethinks the domestic environment as an extension of human ingenuity. Elizabeth Alexander's work can be found in the collection of the Crystal Bridges Museum and the Mint Museum and she has exhibited work at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Loveland Museum, and the Norman Rockwell Museum. She has also been written about in HyperAllergic.
