preservation cactus
Oil on Linen · 11x14 inches · 2018 — 2021
A small cactus potted in a preservation jar, lid resting on top, not quite sealed. Painted thick, the whites like frosting. We put up the things we cannot bear to lose — peaches, memories, whole deserts if we could. Started in 2018 and finished three years later, which seems right for a painting about keeping things alive in glass.
