With titles like Lilium Auratum and Erythronium Hendersoni, there is an additional visible dissonance between the finished work and the scientific name of the source image, implying that taxonomy itself is as susceptible to shifts as the natural world it attempts to define. Mackenzie (b. 1979) lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland. She has been featured in group and solo exhibitions at, among other locations, Ampersand Gallery (Portland, OR), Eleanor Harwood Gallery (San Francisco, CA) and Voidoid Archive (Glasgow). Her work is presented at Phloem Studio in collaboration with Ampersand Gallery, now located and open by appointment here in Hood River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexis Mackenzie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44099319201891,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/6642\/9027\/files\/012_Mackenzie_Narcissus.jpg?v=1775240888","url":"https:\/\/phloemstudiogallery.com\/products\/narcissus-2012-by-alexis-mackenzie","provider":"Phloem Studio Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
