de Fleuriot Perry's recent practice investigates the connection with her local plant community through repetition and attentive care. She physically engages in the process, using written imagery, performative image creation, sculptural installations, drawing, and painting to navigate her evolving relationship with place. By visiting specific places close to her home across seasons, de Fleuriot Perry seeks catharsis through movement: repeated collecting and making.
