Whenever I’m drawing foliage/vines, I often come back to wheat/grains with their upright structure and inter-connected repeating seed heads (deeply encoded from growing up on a grain farm!). Some days I’m thinking of lobby scale ideas. Others I’m thinking about small moments. This morning I wanted to see a 12”x18” composition with wheat…keeping the composition spare and graphic with imagery and text. Realized in shimmery glass (iridescent amber or green…or crisp white), this imagery takes on an almost sculptural dimensional quality that goes beyond 2D.
