Four Threads5x7 cyanotype, watercolor and pencil on 140lb watercolor paper. Artist signature on front. Framed in a 11x14 composite frame, with an archival textured matte board. This piece was dyed in the sun, bathed in water, painted on, drawn on, and carefully sealed with wax. This piece is part of the Golden Threads subtheme. In the foreground you see four threads come together as if theyre doing a dance and then eventually separate. Each thread represents

Everything was hazy and when you looked out to where the sea meets the sky

looking up toward the surface

At one point

Our past brokenness is part of our present and future story

The sweet pea juxtaposes bliss with goodbye

sealed with archival varnish

and they eventually go their separate ways

The flower of the month for February is the Violet

5x7 cyanotype

The flowers of the month for August are the Gladiolus and poppy

as if there is a central reason the threads exist
