“Continuing an overarching interest in the distortion of beauty, Truong’s latest series specifically considers representation of the idealized female form in relation to nature,” a statement says. “Perennials captures women poised in settings of fantasy foliage and flora, merging with the plant-life itself. Featured throughout are her self-named “wimmin creatures”; mythical hybrid forms described as part-plant, part-woman. Drawing parallels between anatomy, botany, grooming and landscaping, each piece depicts a narrative inspired from nature, personal history and the broader female experience.”
