Nutmeg's Curse

Midtown East

Julie Heffernan's massive floral canvades explode with color and dread. Her Dutch-inspired still lifes have gone rogue: roses and poppies engulf the frame while miniature disasters lurk among the petals. The blooms serve as witness to burning cities and evacuations, transforming traditional memento mori into planetary warning.
