Dad's Garden |

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was recently
out-of-state to visit family. I managed to take an amalgam of images of my
Dad's garden. My parents are certainly plant people. Maybe this is where I get it from--my want to be rummaging in and among the foliage of everything, and my habit of getting into the
space of leaves and flowers. That being said, they have an amazing garden in the front of their house, and out back.
There are rows of sego-palms, an intrinsic part of my Dad's small landscaping business/hobbies, and succulents with other cacti. The art of Bonsai has been something my Mom keeps up regularly. I remember when I was younger, seeing the little trees around the house. Being green was always something that was a part of my life, so I suppose it's not terribly shocking that one of the major
subtexts to my work has and will always be
ecological awareness; stemming from the need to look around,
preserve a little here and there, and to show that among all the
shadows in the world, there are in fact,
beautiful things. I hope you enjoyed this post :)
