Creciendo, Tulipanes
Where do flowers go after we bury them? "Creciendo, Tulipanes" (Growing, Tulips), by Renée Neme, is a multimedia project where poetry, bookmaking, ceramics, music and print culminate into an installation. Through the extended metaphor of the tulip, Renée explores the themes of love, death, and grief. The result is a place where the reddest red resounds and aerial views ache far away from the Pacific. Where the letter R does not exist in the alphabet, where music accompanies pain, where a vase can hold something that is not there. It is the search for a representation made out of many pieces, all stemming from different puzzles, different petals. What the designer/artist wishes to create is, more than a product, an atmosphere, a way to understand feelings, not with logic, but rather with the senses, through what is not tangible, presence and absence play the same part.
Renée Neme is a Mexican designer, curator, and writer. Her main interest is integrating poetry into every creative process, whether she is the maker or the conservator. She strongly believes in uniting different media. That is why her interests are in books, ceramics, music, painting, and design. Archive and research are the drivers of her imagination.
