VERDA is something new. It is, on the surface, about “green”. Whatever that means. VERDA is versatile. When I say green, you see grass, zombies, money, album covers, t-shirts. When given the same idea as your friend, your neighbor, what do you do with it? What is the same? What is different? The pieces in VERDA explore worlds and people out of sync and out of balance – ecologically and emotionally – and in doing so, tries to restore some perspective to our lives. In a time when life seems shifted toward grey, it’s even more important to let a little color back in. Be a tidal pool, be a gum drop, be vibrant.
