I Want to Build a Better Garden by Jocelyn Steslicke
I Want to Build a Better Garden explores how cultivating and caring for a garden mirrors how we cultivate and take care of our community. The bottom layer of this piece is made up of layer after layer of writing, about the injustices threatening and hurting our community. On top of this field of writings, a garden sits, made up of flora and fauna native to North Carolina, the home that Jocelyn has known her whole life and one of the many communities she would like to see thrive.
Jocelyn Steslicke is a Raleigh based, multifaceted artist and art instructor who has been exploring nature and movement in her work; drawing much of her inspiration from the North Carolina wildlife that has surrounded her all of her life. Jocelyn holds a BFA in Studio Art, with a concentration in Drawing and Printmaking, from UNC Greensboro.
