About the Item
"After years of nature-based artwork, in Spring 2020 I became an Anthomaniac. Covid was raging in NYC so I retreated with my family Northwest Connecticut. Nature, for so many of us, became hugely important during isolation. It was exhilarating to see the minute changes of the seasons especially the first blooms of Spring. All the foliage had names and provenances! A rare few were native wildflowers but many were world travelers. While the pandemic was raging we weren’t allowed to travel but the foliage that I saw around me represented the gardens of the world: peonies from Eurasia, tulips from Turkey, nasturtiums from Mexico, searching for the native poppy, delphinium and columbine. In my garden I cultivated co-existence between native and non-native species. My watercolor collages feel like collaborations with mother nature. I paint from living, scent emitting wild flowers or ones that I’ve grown in my garden. It’s exciting: I have to work fast, they don’t last. I want to use the actual plantsso I press them yielding unpredictable impossibly fragile collage elements. Photography, fabric and other elements blur the distinction between the real and the artificial. Is there any place on the planet where man hasn’t impacted nature? I want to draw attention to the beauty, power and fragility of nature and the important role we have in protecting it."

- Haitian Voodoo Beaded Flag with Gran Bwa signed "Claude"Located in Milwaukee, WIThe present work is an excellent example of the flags and banners of Haitian Vodun practice. It is constructed of cloth with hand-stitched glass beads and sequins, representing the figure Gran Bwa (also Grand Bois, spelled on the flag "GRAИD BOI"). According to Patrick Arthur Polk, Vodun flags are meant to honor or invoke gods, as well as to depict their likenesses and attributes with dazzling displays of color. In addition, the beadwork may reference the African religious elements of Vodun which came to Haiti with African slaves. Haiti is an important part of the African diaspora and there is no other Caribbean nation that has such rich survivals of African-style music and dancing, and of religious beliefs and practices that relate to ancient African tradition. According to Polk, Gran Bwa, "ruler of the forest, is the master of herbal remedies. He also presides over initiations which require, at least symbolically, the secrecy of the forest’s darkest recesses. He normally appears as a tall, symmetrical figure that is half man and half tree." The imagery of Haitian Voodoo culture is derived from multiple sources, and the culture seems to have the ability to integrate the various sources from popular culture to Catholic imagery into traditional African symbols, values and rituals. Images like that of Gran Bwa are based off ritual drawings, or vévé, used to invoke the deity and to consecrate ritual space. Such vévé in Voodoo, unlike images appropriated from Catholicism or from popular culture, are probably based off of ground drawings from Central and West Africa. The relatively young age of this example shows the power and influence the imagery continues to have in Haiti to this day. 16.5 x 19.25 inches, artwork 24.25 x 27 inches, frame Polk, Patrick Arthur.
