This was last October at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.
My photos don’t begin to show the power and delicacy of her work.

I don’t think I showed you my second phaelenopsis.
This is what it looked like when I bought it. I saw it at Lowe’s and loved it. But, I’m trying to have some selfcontrol about house plants and orchids have not been my easiest plants to keep healthy. So, I walked away. Two weeks later, it was still waiting on me and I just gave in.
Eventually, it’s blossoms finished and I have been watching the flower stem mostly do nothing but be green. I saw a video of a trick to get new growth by sticking a piece of aloe on the stem down to the first separation. I tried it. The stem died down that far. but has stayed green below it.
I have been surprised by new growth on the flower stems of the original, grocery store orchid. So, I continue to refuse to remove anything still green from my plants. Chlorophyll is still doing its thing, yo.
Tuesday is Water Day. I stuck it in a bowl in the sink to let the bark chips get well soaked and I noticed that I may have a new flower spike coming up.

These are from August 2019 at the Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC-Greensboro.
I feel like I’d seen her work before that. But, I haven’t got my pictures very organized and this is the earliest I can find right now.
I did not touch the art. But, I probably breathed on it.
And I did a really shitty job taking the reference photo.

Holy shit! Lien Truong teaches at UNC-Chapel Hill!
I am a huge fan and have been since I first saw her work. She just takes my breath.
I love the silk. I love the textures. I love the colors she uses.
If I ever meet her, I will be speechless.
This is at SECCA as part of their The Threads We Follow exhibition.
