Stevie Famulari’s new Green Line series — currently on view at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota — has fashioned five “elegant” garments (an opera gown, an asymmetrical gown, a lawn coat, a wedding gown and a laced gown) that are seeded with living plants and will grow, change and reseed themselves over the course of their lifetimes.
