MYSTERY FERN

 

Mystery Fern
This work is meant to evoke a long summertime walk in the deep green woods, where countless natural wonders and mysteries abound. The ID of the fern eluded me at first, but I have since identified it as sensitive fern, Onoclea sensibilis.


Cyanotypes on silk, heliographic prints on silk and hemp/silk, artist-painted and commercial silks and cottons, machine stitching.
Size: 55"h x 72"w
For Sale: $8,200
