Germination Projects

Pam Rogers’ work propels viewers into a nurturing, cocoon-like state of being. Using the natural world as a set focus, both her paper based and sculptural installations evoke a sense of their own potential for organic growth in the viewer. The quite nature of plants and vegetation transcend the canvas and become something of an unrequited mentor, demonstrating patience, empathy, and the innate struggle to survive.

Using germination as a metaphor for the human growth process, Rogers deconstructs the essence of the human condition. Her instruments of sculptural creation consist of plants, plant pigments, and soil collected throughout her travels in the US; thus, weaving her own personal experience of nature’s re-birth into her artwork.
