during July 2025, amid a record-breaking heat wave, Love-McCorkle conceptualized and constructed an installation composed of three sets at her former studio, before moving out, titled Floret's Scene. behind the curtains and over our heads (of the set Broccoli head) were made using supplies that were purchased in 2024 for a personal interior design project that did not reach completion and repurposed items and materials that she found set out on the sidewalk. The show opened on July 25th and lasted until August 5th. Thematically, the three-set installation pondered on domesticity and thought of itself, in moments, as an impassioned letter addressed to romanticism.
