Oil stick on paper, flamboyan flower petals, chipboard, masonite, light
14 x 11 x 3 in
Communion with a flamboyan tree (royal poinciana/Delonix regia).
This drawing holds evidence of the connections I have made with these trees throughout my life in Miami. A tree well known throughout the Caribbean, the flamboyan represents passion, vitality and resilience. Seeking out these energies, I spent the summer collecting flowers shed by a flamboyan tree close to my home. Despite the fragile nature of the flowers, I added them around the drawing as a protective element. Carefully adhered in a repetative snakeskin-like pattern. The warmth of this connection is made stronger through the use of light behind the piece.
