In The Language of Flowers, Ali Wunder cultivates memory into bloom, capturing the fleeting essence of the seasons in embroidered still-life paintings that feel both timeless and ephemeral. Each piece is a conversation—between past and present, nature and handwork, the artist and the earth.
Drawing from her collection of vintage and heirloom textiles, Wunder arranges blossoms not only by color and form but by the rhythm of their natural emergence. Spring’s delicate dogwood gives way to summer’s wild exuberance, autumn’s russet roses soften into the stark beauty of winter’s last blooms.
Wunder’s work speaks to the slow art of noticing—the way light moves across petals, the history in a scrap of lace. Here, embroidery, pattern tissue, and textiles are more than embellishment to her paintings; they are a means of preserving not just beauty but belonging.
For those who step into this collection, the invitation is clear: linger. Let the seasons unfold their stories. Listen to the flowers—they have so much to say.
