BOTANICAL INSTALLATIONS & EVENTS
BY ARTISTS BAILEY RIVER & WILD BRONWYN
Based in OR, open to travel.
We are multi-disciplinary artists, cultivating experiential wonderment through space design on all scales.
Sustainable & regenerative practices are foundational to our creative process.
Botanical pieces are primarily designed around what’s currently in season, & can be locally self foraged from overgrown landscapes, grown ourselves, or purchased from local flower farmers.

WONDERMENT
A feeling born of beauty.
Beauty which invites you into a subtle state of awe, one of soft curiosity, where the heart opens the mind.
COMMUNION
To commune with nature is to taste the truth of the soul, the rhythm of harmony.
It is here, that we breathe, held by the curves, caves, vines, stones, textures, moss and soil.
REGENERATION
When we feel we belong we develop a more intimate relationship with this cosmic rock that co-creates our existence.
We are naturally led to care for ourselves - feeling communion with the plants and soil that have created our own form. We realize - are nature - we are trees consuming soil. The richness of that soil directly impacts the richness of our experience here.
Through this art, we aim to go deeper than sustainability and discover that which feeds and regenerates on an individual and collective level.
The Earth has an epic ability to restore itself.
YAVANNA is committed to this flourishing
The way we design our celebrations and spaces can empower this vision. Events, in particular, are prone to incredible waste.
One-use decor items are purchased and then thrown away soon after. Flowers are grown with chemicals, wrapped in plastic and shipped across the world in coolers.
When regenerative practices are used, flowers can be a planet-friendly option, as they are compost-able.
We are focused on foraging from overgrown landscapes, growing flowers and purchasing from local flower farmers. All installations ever taken down are responsibly composted.
We can continue to celebrate our lives and loves with conscious, regenerative design.
