Van Gogh's Lost Lily's: St. Remy and AmsterdamThis is one of a suite of 3 similar PhotoSculpted modular tiled projects I conjured up having visited Van Gogh's sites. While in Amsterdam, the gray-blue contrast against the sea foam green colors impacted me when visualizing the almond tree graphics in the Van Gogh Museum. Later, visiting the asylum Van Gogh spent time in St. Remy, I glance out his bedroom window noticing the lily's in the garden below and the almond trees with their white flowers to the right of the frame. These contrasts led to creation of these pieces.
