Sculpture with flowers, Sarah Myers
Terracotta "Woman with a Bowl", roses, lavender, bougainvillea |
Rich apricot blooms,
exquisite purple-pink roses much tinier, and sprigs of lavender – all
flowers from my sister's desert garden – mingle with bougainvillea
and dark orange-tree leaves from our orchard. The fragrant bouquet
fills the bowl of my terracotta sculpture; with assured dignity she
carries the autumn wealth of the garden poised lightly on her head.
The light makes stars and streams in long beams through the dark,
intricate lattice-work of a handmade screen from India, while under
the sculpture's feet, where her long skirts sweep the ground, are the
delightfully bright tiles, orange, green, blue, of a small table from
Mexico. In these images you are seeing a corner of our home in the
desert.
