Green: steel, tomato vine, enamel mixed with snow (48"x30"x12")
Picture
Green addresses the spaces and systems that we inhabit, and that shape takes form in the suggestion of a corset tied together by tomato vine. One wrinkled, dehydrated tomato rests precariously at the end of the vine to evoke a timelessness of evaluating women for their form and literally fitting them into a set space. With the declining state of the planet, the two aspects of feminism and environmental health are intertwined. 
"Garon’s show is an innovative and relatively new expansion of context and content which could have stood on its own as art as art, but Garon has taken on a far deeper task with art that can be amplified by its sources, market, and cultural impact."
-Lucy Lippard



"Garon employs decaying natural artifacts primarily as symbols of humanity's fragility. But her contrasts of hard and soft intrigue the eye as well as the mind."
​-Mark Jenkins, The Washington Post
