A calligraphic celebration of nature’s choreography.
Organic patterns inspired by tendrils harvested from a Passiflora vine that once grew (and grew) in my garden. Colorful and energetic, the swirling shapes are joyful and also reflect the tumultuous times in which we live. The shapes are choreographic, acrobatic, musical, chaotic. They suggest systems of rivers, tributaries, blood vessels, roots, freeway overpasses. An ode to the grace and tenacity of nature.
