What does it mean to experience a plant, not just view it? The Herbal Echoes exhibition is designed to be as a multi-sensory encounter with Persian flora with paintings alongside herbarium scans, archival textures, and interactive elements that bring science and story into the same room. You will leave with new names, new histories, and a deeper sense of what is at stake when endemic species disappear. If you care about ecology, migration stories, or the quiet intelligence of the natural world, we'd love to see you here Sep. 1 thru Oct. 3rd

This exhibition is also a memorial. The Herbal Echoes honors the legacy of a biologist who devoted her life to documenting Iran’s endemic plants. Her work was careful, patient, and rooted in love for what most of us overlook. We are carrying that devotion into the gallery, translating scientific documentation into a multi-sensory art experience; paintings, herbarium scans, and interactive elements that invite you to slow down and notice. To remember is to keep something alive in public. Thank you for showing up with us.

Why Persian flora, and why now? The Herbal Echoes is an exhibition shaped by a simple truth, plants are not just scenery. They are archives. Endemic species carry the story of place, climate, and deep time. They also carry the story of human movement; what we bring with us, what we leave behind, and what adapts. This show brings together botanical art from Persia with herbarium scans and interactive sensory elements to explore evolution, immigration, and adaptation through the lens of the plant world. Come for the beauty. Stay for the science, the storytelling, and the invitation to care for what is fragile and irreplaceable.

A new exhibition is coming to SlipStitch. The Herbal Echoes, Botanical Art from Persia is a multi-sensory experience that celebrates the beauty, cultural significance, and ecological importance of Persian flora. At its heart is a tribute, honoring the legacy of a beloved biologist who dedicated her life to documenting Irans endemic plants. Through paintings, herbarium scans, and sensual interactive elements, the work weaves art, science, and storytelling around evolution, immigration, and adaptation. If you have ever wondered how a plant carries history, memory, and survival across borders, this show is for you. More details soon. For now, save the title and come ready to look closely.

You’ve been to artist talks before, this one’s built differently.
Join us for an intimate, limited-seating Artist Conflab that starts with something you can taste and ends with the kind of conversation you don’t get in a typical Q&A.

We’re kicking off with “The Art of Jamu” led by Willson Christianto, an Indonesian wellness tea tradition passed down through generations (and yes, you’ll learn the story behind it).

Then Otto Chan sits down for a close, personal conversation with Chromatic Restraint artists Neha Panicker and Hiba Jameel; digging into process, choices, and the ideas under the surface of the work. Curious what makes it different? Come find out in the room. Seats are limited so grab yours before they’re gone... respectfully.

That’s right—Artist Conflab is back at SlipStitch.
On Saturday, August 29, 2026 | 4–6 PM, we’re opening the doors for a rare, up-close look at what Conflab is really about: artists, process, and the conversations you don’t get anywhere else.

Here’s what’s happening:
• The Art of Jamu — an Indonesian tradition passed down for generations
• Then a live discussion led by Otto with Hiba and Neha, two featured artists from Chromatic Restraint (expect real talk on practice, restraint, color, and what’s underneath the work)

This one’s for the people who like to be in the room—not hearing about it later.
Come get a little closer. Seats/space are limited, and once it’s full, it’s full.
You don’t want to miss this.

This 24 x 24 inch block print celebrates Cambodia’s harvest season, when fields turn golden and daily life moves to the rhythm of gathering and giving thanks. Built from carved marks and repeated impressions, the image honors the labor, patience, and community behind every crop. The bold shapes and textures echo the land itself, sun, soil, and hands at work. It invites the viewer to step into a season of abundance and remember the stories carried in food, tradition, and place.

This small linocut relief print uses a single ink color on white paper to keep the image clear and direct. It captures the carefree spirit of a tween, that bright in-between age when laughter comes easily and the future still feels wide open. The simplicity is intentional, like a memory that stays sharp because nothing distracts from it. Quiet and playful, the print holds a moment of light before darker days arrive.
