Blue Corn

2022

A tall figure stands very still on the orange ground, balancing an ear of blue corn on its head — and on the corn, an origami crane, also standing very still. Patience, practiced as agriculture. Corn is the oldest engineering project in this valley; see also the painting Three Blue Corn.

Based on two earlier 2016 oil paintings of the same title (neither yet documented here).

Intaglio drypoint print of a tall, slender figure with a solemn face and an origami crane perched atop its head, standing on a warm orange-and-red hand-colored ground line against a pale scratched background.
