Historical Installation


Location: Palm Garden
Sharpie on fabric

Inspired by the history of the use of the Palm Garden during Henry Flagler's time, I created a drawing using a tablecloth. Dinner parties were hosted in the Palm Garden often. I created a map-like illustration, combining elements such as hats and other clothing items with serving ware (tea cups) to speak on the guests and their interactions with the workers. The dotted lines represent the different paths the guests and workers followed. I used a pink marker to represent the workers, and black line for the guests.
