UPDATE: When I began this piece and another solar garden piece I felt I was speaking of the ancient gardens of the desert. After working and looking I've come to another realization that these two pieces are more about my own garden memories. This one in particular draws me back to our trips to the Palm Springs CA area.... driving past the rows and rows of date palms in production...it is quite a sight! Also my childhood years were lived in and around the one gigantic palm tree across the street. The sounds of the fronds in the wind,the nesting birds and the squat thick trunk greeted me every day of my life up to the age of 21. Palms, date or otherwise have been an integral part of my outward view.
15"x18",solar prints, assorted treated fabrics, machine and hand stitching. The side panel features a garden gate that I did way back when and now I am approaching the garden (ancient) once again. This time using the solar prints. Four prints here and not all sharp which for me gives a vague, lost, day dream, desert feel....but I could be wrong?! I have one more begun and then I will play in the sun for a few days and see what I can create.
