Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, "À fleurer," 2016
À fleurer takes as its inspiration the legendary correspondence between the French author Colette and her Swiss publisher, Henri-Louis Mermod. Mermod sent Colette weekly floral bouquets, to which the author responded with floral essays, eventually published in 1949 under the title Pour un herbier. Nemerofsky Ramsay reverses the form of this correspondence by sending personal letters to a local florist, who interprets the themes of the writing in floral bouquets. The flowers, and screen-printed multiples of the letters, will be exhibited as an evolving display in the gallery.
Flowers by Blossoms, screen-prints by Void Gallery.
