Looking Back: Pine Needle Polka Dot

I’ve been thinking back on this piece from six years ago. It’s hard to believe so much time has passed since creating it!

This piece came out of work on my book project, Choose With Love. It’s interesting to me that in my artistic practice, one project continually informs another. I came by this idea while working on a photograph for the book that reimagined pine needles as blades of grass. In the course of working, the needles fell off the branch, and I thought about shaping them into a pattern that would begin to disintegrate.
