Flourish + Collapse
Featuring Adrienne Butler, Megan Moore + Ashley Nason
Curated by Nicole Geary + Rachael M. Bower

Flourish + Collapse unites three artists whose work is inspired by the natural environment. Images are collected, combined, deconstructed and recontextualized in the work of Texas artist Adrienne Butler, New York artist Megan Moore and Colorado artist Ashley Nason. They employ printmaking, mixed media, collage and watercolor to bring their ideas to life on paper. Flourish + Collapse is a collaborative curatorial effort between NVC faculty Rachael M. Bower and St. Philip’s faculty Nicole Geary.
