MOAH and MOAH:CEDAR present Art Where We Are: Celebrating Ten Years of Antelope Valley Walls™ featuring Anthony Hurd: Gentle Nature. On view at MOAH:CEDAR, August 1 - November 15, 2026.
Daisy Patton: Flowers, Fruits, and Birds explores the intersection of personal memory and intergenerational histories. Drawing from found photographs, archival imagery, and decorative traditions, Patton transforms portraits through vibrant floral interventions and embellishment, reintroducing women from the past as figures suspended between eras. The exhibition title references a passage from The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir, in which women are metaphorically associated with flowers, fruits, and birds. Patton reclaims these symbols, revealing them not only as markers of beauty and fragility, but also as emblems of growth, resilience, and creation.
