A green woman reclines, fully nude, upon a bed of moss, surrounded by larger-than-life wildflow-ers: nodding trilliums, dwarf crested irises, delphinium. Her right hand rests gently on a mound of moss in a gesture of recognition and intimate connection. Her gaze is steady and unwavering. She is clearly not going anywhere. In the foreground, a recently eaten apple; at her elbow, a snakeskin.
Above her a bee hovers, and behind her mountains undulate, mirroring the curves of her body.
This piece is a statement of feminine sovreignty, of a woman’s unique and unbreakable connection to the Earth. She is adamant and relaxed in her assertion of belonging and intimacy; she is not just in the garden, she is the garden.
