Ebony G. Patterson

Step into a world where beauty blooms with meaning. Ebony G. Patterson is a breathtaking exploration of the acclaimed Jamaican artist’s dazzling, thought-provoking work — where gardens aren’t just lush with flowers, but alive with stories of race, gender, and colonial history. This stunning hardcover accompanies Patterson’s major exhibition at The New York Botanical Garden, where her colorful tapestries and installations transform natural beauty into a language of social reflection. Through faux flowers, glitter, sequins, fabric, beads, and found objects, Patterson invites us to look closer — to see beneath the shimmer and uncover deeper truths about identity, visibility, and care.

Richly illustrated and beautifully written, this volume offers fresh insights into Patterson’s multilayered practice from an inspiring roster of contributors: Joanna L. Groarke, Karenna Gore, Abra Lee, and Seph Rodney — each offering their unique perspective on art, nature, and transformation. More than a monograph, Ebony G. Patterson is a celebration of art’s power to enchant while challenging us to think critically about the world we cultivate, both literally and figuratively.

Perfect for art lovers, collectors, and anyone captivated by lush visuals and powerful storytelling, this book blossoms with beauty, intellect, and heart.
