Other Side of Paradise, 2013, Watercolor, archival pigment print on paper, framing plexiglass, 31” x 44”,
The stalks and blossoming pods of Strelizia reganie, commonly known as Bird of Paradise, were painted in watercolor and a photo of the leaves and ground was printed onto the painting. Often ignored is the plant’s understory in which the crawling creatures and decay exist, essential to the organism's well being. These are depicted on the framing Plexiglas.
