British artist Rebecca Louise Law has designed and created a site-specific installation using both dried and fresh plant materials to form an immersive visitor experience that explores the relationship between humanity and nature. Learn more about the process of installing it at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, FL in this behind the scenes documentary. A proponent of sustainability, Law has repurposed flowers that were previously used in her other installations from around the world. In her own words, "I want this installation to be a physical and participatory experience. After exploring the intimacy of the womb and the sensation of being consumed and cocooned in nature I would like to explore the momentum of life. From the second we are formed in cells we are moving and changing, within a world that is also evolving. The motion of walking through nature and witnessing it's many forms from life to death. This rhythmic cycle that we are all participants of, fascinates me. This installation will be a short journey through nature, with its many forms and scents, stimulating the senses to the extreme."

These students are amazing! They spent 5 days, working through the weekend to ensure their interactive mural at Longbranch Elementary was complete for the first day of school. Thank you to the Jaguars Foundation and Dr. Graham, Principal at Long Branch Elementary for the opportunity. #jamsjax #jamslife

Any Given Child Jacksonville and the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville partnered to develop an artist in residency program in which Jacksonville artists were embedded in Duval County Public Schools and paired with educators to merge the arts with other academic areas. They spent time with classes, one day a week for 20 weeks working on arts integrated projects and uplifting the history of Jacksonville.
