Erick Medel reimagines the still life in this piece made from denim — the same material that his father, a gardener, wears to protect himself from roses.
I always start with a photograph on my phone. Sometimes I'm not looking for images — the images are just there, and I happen to capture things. Last year, I started making works portraying flowers in buckets, what flower sellers sell on the freeways or just on the street. I started thinking of them as still lifes. I kept continuing with them. Walking around the Flower District, there's so much beauty, and I started to think about the people who make them.
One time I tried denim. Since then, I’ve been working with heavyweight denim. I think of the durability of the denim, and I think of my dad, who is a gardener. He wears jeans because it's thick enough to protect him from roses. I think of the working class and think of the whole history of denim in the U.S. — the fashion, the Americana, the whole world that denim represents. It’s very rooted in American identity and this myth of America.
