Achillea's Leap
2024 | Acrylic and Ink on Board | 20 x 26 [in] / 50.8 × 66.04 [cm]
What does it feel like to bounce around on pillow-y king size flower beds? During a summer evening walk, I came upon a neighbor’s flowering Achilleas, featuring these yellow plate-like flat flowers the size of your palm but only 1⁄4” thick. Their forms, simultaneously geometric and organic, and the way they layered on top of one another created this image, me 95% shrunk in size and jumping from one flower to the other.
