1985 pen & ink
This is the 2nd of my "Jar Ladies" series Combining the female form with plant form symbolizes the communion I feel with nature and the sense of mystery and stillness that comes with that experience. The jar theme is symbolic of my personal growth process ,organically represented in the nature imagery of growing beyond the limits (enclosed in a jar) of self identity.
