Proud to present this project to you all....During Miami Art Week in December, I will be unveiling Humanum Absoluta, a large drawing I have been steadily working on since June. It has been the most powerful channeling I have experienced thus far, so I want to share it with you all in the most intimate way possible.

Once upon a time, there was a tree that was in love with the moon. Every leaf, a proclamation of love, and every grape, grown by the salt water, a fecund gift for the astral being. They say if you sit under a sea grape tree on the night of a full moon, you can hear the leaves sing to the light that shines upon them. 🌕 . . . . . #seagrape #fullmoon #blackandwhitedrawing #pencildrawing

My Junglevision room at Flowerbox Projects for their Inaugural show Homemade Lemonade. 

[flowerboxprojects-deactivated20]

Nicole Salcedo is one of four artists featured in our upcoming show Homemade Lemonade. 

Salcedo brings us her “Jungle Vision,” quirky illustrations and patterns that humanize and express a love of nature. While these drawings call to mind the familiar flora of Miami, they are also very much conjured from a fantastical world of her own. Salcedo let’s us pick her brain for a little bit: 

Warm-up: Are you a morning person or a night person? Depends on the activity. 

Who or what first encouraged you to work beyond canvas and stretcher? Taking a fibers class in school. I learned about a variety of materials, and ways to create 2D images.

Of the materials you’re working with, which ones have surprised you the most? Paint and ink. I go through phases of not using any kind of wet media. When I do come back to them, I feel a sense of grounding, which is much appreciated.

Describe a moment when you felt you had failed as an artist – what did it teach you? Failure has taught me to not fear failure, which is easier said than done. Over the years I’ve learned to not put too much pressure on myself. Too much pressure kills creativity. Everything is a balancing act.  

The eternal question: Nature or nurture? Which do you think applies more to your practice? I’m interested in the way nature nurtures, and how we in turn nurture nature.

The opening reception to Homemade Lemonade is Friday, March 20 from 6-10pm. The show will be on view from March 20 to May 15. For more information, please visit us at www.flowerboxprojects.com.

Five Questions is an ongoing blog feature that aims to put a face to the work we showcase at our project space Flowerbox Projects.
