Garden of Transformation, Summer 2007

Description

Garden of Transformation depicts the coming of rain. Multicolored drops cascade to the ground, where they turn into butterflies. The large yellow and orange rosettes on each side of the doorway are ancient symbols. While found around the world, rosettes are particularly prevalent in Spanish Colonial art. They have been used in New Mexican painting, sculpture, furniture, and architecture for hundreds of years, and these traditions continue in the present. In this mosaic, they are a symbol of blossoming life after it rains.

Photos are printed on high-quality photo paper encased in a plastic sleeve with a cardstock backing.  The horizontal photos are 11” W x 8 1/2” H, and the vertical is 8 ½” W x 11” H.
