“Backward from the Earth” (2022)
Wool on Linen Substrate
25.5 x 44”
A night around the fire with Mercury in retrograde, the cabbage white moths and black swan drawn out of the darkness toward the flame in a flutter of wings and a tempest of energy. From the shadows of shared memory, “Backward from the Earth” (2022) captures the surreal and frenzied moment the black swan enters the flame, only to re-emerge unscathed.
