Introducing Upstream Artist Fellow: @andprados from Granite Falls. ⁠⁠A little bit about Dani's art:⁠⁠"Playing on the idea of "heirlooms," I will be creating jewel-reminiscent, resin-cast sculptures of various plants whose storied existence in Minnesota is a gift to be treasured, reminding us we are the temporary caretakers of these precious heirloom plants to preserve and pass them down for the next generations. ⁠Some of these will be displayed locally with playful information about the plants, while some will be mailed in a curated package including the sculpture, seeds, plant memoir, directions, and a letter written from the last caretaker to a short list of recipients who will each be offered the opportunity to house the sculpture for a week, and keep the letter and some seeds. Each recipient will then mail the package to the next on the list, enclosing their own letter on their experience with the heirloom." — from Instagram
