Maintenance Practice

Maintenance Practice brings together recent artworks by artist and gardener Landon Newton. Working across installation, photography, and social practice, Newton explores the reciprocal relationships between plants and people. Her research-based projects examine permanence, historical distortion, care, and multispecies pedagogy; using living plants as both material and collaborator. 

The works in Maintenance Practice trace gestures of care, attention, and ecological entanglement. Through cyanotype drawings, plant materials, and printed matter, Landon Newton observes maintenance as both labor and relation—an ongoing choreography between plants, weather, and human touch. The exhibition asks how acts of upkeep might register as collaboration, and how the smallest repetitions—tracing, mowing, collecting, printing—become ways of learning to stay with a place.
