Inspired by the archetypal “heroine’s journey” inward to the self and the changes that parenthood brings, In the Garden evokes a dark whimsy. A figure sits among the dreamy floral landscape dripping with jewels, enticing them to linger. The warm colors of the figure stand in a precarious balance with the cool surroundings, as if this visitor is caught between worlds, reflecting on themself. How long can you wander in a dream before getting lost?
