The Wildflowers of Wisconsin is a fiber art installation coming in 2024 comprised of oversized crocheted flora native to Wisconsin that will be on exhibition in McKee Farms Park in Fitchburg. The Madison Public Art Project (MPAP) commissioned this project and is inviting the community into the art-making process to create the individual flowers and leaves that will be incorporated into the larger artistic expression as part of the final artistic composition.
​
For this project we encourage individuals to rethink their own consumption habits and are offering workshops with sustainable living practices focusing on how to reduce our carbon footprint. The topics include reducing, reusing, recycling, upcycling, foraging, composting, and encouraging pollinator friendly gardening spaces. The project raises awareness about the increasing realties of climate change and encourages greater stewardship of the land. It is our hope that individuals who participate in this project will feel inspired to act after coming together to create this dynamic installation.
​
We would love to see you at a workshop soon!
