#wip ©Sonya Clark, Forever Gold, 2022 “the entire country was (is) hostile to marigolds” #ToniMorrison Dear Toni, As an act of resistance and resilience, I’m growing marigolds in my garden and pressing them between your words in my studio. Though you’re no longer with us, your metaphors persist. And we do too. #blackgirlsinventedyellow #thebluesteye #marigolds #blackwomenwriters #nobel #yellow #blackgirlmagic #blackartmatters #womenartists #blackartist #garden #gardening #pressedflowers #flowers #bibliophile #bookstagram
