Eric Mack (@76emack ) discusses Silent Melodies with Felicia Feaster (@fafeaster ) for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. @ajcnews
“The mixed media work is a complex palimpsest of the kind of layers you’d find in a garden: cocoon silk, miscanthus grass and rose mallow foliage, yarrow and northern sea oat seeds, sand and pine tree threads, all of which attest to the web-like networks of the natural world. He has arrested in these artworks the enchantment of the garden, the busy work of roots and replication, nature’s primordial forces and the generative power of plants.”

Silent Melodies is on view now at Whitespace through June 6th.
Poison seeds. Tipples. Lavender shortbread. Gothic books and plants. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Join @sogothgarden and @thekaigarden Sunday May 3 from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. @offbeatbooksatl@terminalsouthatl for a plant sale and book signing and get your dark mama just what she needs this Mother’s Day!
Slight change of plans: the Goth Garden Show & Tell will now begin at 1pm! (previously scheduled for 2pm)
Join us this Sunday to chat with author of @sogothgarden Felicia Feaster and owner of @thekaigarden Eric Mack, learn about some of the plants featured in The Goth Garden, and maybe even take a couple home for your own spooky collection🪻🥀🪴 Signed copies of the book will also be available, and we’ve heard there might be some themed drinks and snacks? 👀
If you’d like to reserve your book and/or plant in advance, go to gothgarden.eventbrite.com (also listed on our Linktree; link in bio). We can’t wait to see you on Sunday!

Goth plant fiends! Join Eric Mack of @thekaigarden and yours truly @offbeatbooksatl on Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. for a goth garden show and tell. Buy some macabre perennials! Get a morbid inscription in your copy of The Goth Garden! Support ATL’s indie bookstores! The first 10 attendees will get some poisonous seeds!
I know, I know, Jeff is a tool, but if you happened to buy your copy of The Goth Garden on Amazon, please do me a solid and write a review so I can get to 100! With my eternal gratitude.
My morning constitutional with Marty highlight reel: My neighbor’s cool use of a dead branch as a trellis, baby bird eggshell, peaches coming in and castor bean all up in here!
Love Lies Bleeding, thistle, rosemary and even diabolical angel’s trumpet, unexpected but delightful to find a goth garden subtext in this year’s @southeasternshowhouse@sogothgarden
The Goth Garden juggernaut continues this July with this gorgeous collection of postcards with illustrations by the incredible @irinavinnik suitable for framing IMO. Look for a Dark Blooms coloring book coming in October! @adams_media
