“…A forgotten horticultural experiment reclaiming its space.”
Second Growth
Throughout the summer, walking upstairs at Alma Lights, there were often Restaurant Alma chefs’ trays of sprouts, herbs and microgreens on the window sills. In the midst of the dusty renovations, they grew, a life force like a flower in the cracks of a concrete sidewalk, and there was pleasure in anticipation of the tasty sustenance they would provide to some guests that evening. Aaron Dysart’s Second Growth is a macrogreen, a forgotten horticultural experiment reclaiming its space. An alder tree explodes out of a locked closet, not exactly wild but uncontainable and inescapable. The visual pleasure is mouth watering.
