Morgan visualizes the talking flowers as both gossiping and as a “gossip,” meaning a group of very close companions. Her work also alludes to Floriography, the hidden meaning Victorian women applied to flowers in order to authentically communicate in an otherwise formal society. Morgan calls us to recontextualize the talking flowers as a symbol of the revolutionary power of feminine communication.

What inspires the artist?
“Did you know the word “gossip” originally meant a group of very close companions? Over centuries the word has evolved to mean “idle chatter.” I think of these verbose flowers, planted exactly where they are in such close proximity to each other. We are in their world here, a phytomorphized universe of the flowers. Alice is a flower. The Red Queen is a flower. The Victorians had this obsession with Floriography, the language of flowers. It allowed them to convey messages that their very formal, stiff society wouldn’t otherwise allow. This garden of chattering flowers feels revolutionary in this sense: a gossip of flowers and ladies speaking freely.”—Morgan Johnston
