April 28th - May 5th 

​

My undergrad thesis show displayed the works that I had made in one academic year, spanning multiple media such as; oil paint, film photography, ceramic, etchings, and a documented performance piece. This body of work reflects my passion about the soil and cycle of life. The show incorporated poetry with themes of natural burial and growth, reminding humanity we are one with the dirt our feet touch.

​

The paintings in this show were themed around a poem written by myself and Linzi Garcia, each painting is an illustration or representation of a line from the poem. The poem is as follows:

​

​

I wish I was a Garden 

by Kami Olson and Linzi Garcia

​

Plant me with the Lavender

braid my soft dark petals between uncut blades

press seedlings into each crease of my soiled skin

bury my root-turned toes to share kisses with worms

season by season I will grow

you will wait to harvest me

let the moon decide my shade

let the bees arouse me

and transfer my soul to the next sprig
