Artist Emily Teall '12's latest creation

Emily Teall's Tulip Bulb draws on natural imagery of bulbs and wombs to evoke a gestation period in which the sitter can grow through introspection and reflection before re-emerging into the community. In our current environment of political polarization and community-conscious isolation, Tulip Bulb’s perforated walls provide a semi-permeable space that encourages the participant to look inwards yet retain the expectation of re-emergence into the community.
