Drawing from Yarli’s ‘uprooting’ background, this series explores the notion of home, emotional boundaries and settlement, using plant propagation as metaphor with a literal approach. Working with a process to generate affect and care, the characters are first hand-drawn in a child-like scribbling way, and then take form by Yarli’s hand-sculpted practice to elaborate their expression.

The glass bottle in the photo is not included. Yarli encourages collectors to ‘plant’ the work in their own containers as a gesture of diasporic care and propagation.

“Dedicated to my fallen Orchid baby from its mother stem. I found it lying helplessly on the wooden floor, with many flowers still attached. The baby keiki was later rescued and propagated into a new pot.” (Yarli’s diary, written before relocating to Paris from London, 2019). Yarli Allison's work is part of the Decriminalised Futures exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary.
