Garden Pond Botanicals

This piece is the artist's observation of the plants in and around her small garden pond. By focusing on the intricate interplay between the flora typically deemed "intentional" and those labeled "invasive," the artist invites the viewer to see the aesthetic and ecological value in the untamed spaces, encouraging a shift from a desire for control toward an appreciation of ecological synergy. Painted on gold-tone silk, applique elements added, and machine quilted.

Wrapped over wooden stretcher bars with wire added to the back for hanging. Ships flat.
