den contemporary is pleased to present in the project corridor (Nothing But) Flowers, an installation by Sophia Allison. Inspired by the organic environs of the artist's childhood home in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains and her present Los Angeles neighborhood, Sophia's sculptures and installations reference specific places and points in time, both physical and psychological.

The title of the installation project is taken from The Talking Heads' song of the same name. The lyrics ironically bemoan the disintegration of certain aspects of the world of retail and commerce, and its transition back to nature.

Art for $25, number 39
