Artist Statement: Samantha Melvin
The Verdant Web investigates the interrelationship of humans and nature. Through the eloquent languages of painting and printmaking, the works speak visually about the biophilic environments where built structures merge with the organic geographies of nature. Botanical shapes reference varieties of native species from Texas and from travels as a celebration of place, while layered abstractions and patterns dance with one another, forming varied outcomes of light and color, reflecting nature’s ongoing, and ever-adapting resilience. The interactions map the relationship between order and chaos in the complex system in which we live.

Sweeney Todd is a tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London.
Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony’s, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!
