A teal-colored creature peers from behind an intricate tangle of delicate botanical forms, its single red eye the only warm note against the cool, shadowed composition. Intricate line work creates a dense forest of leaves and branches that both conceal and frame the shy figure, suggesting a tension between the desire to hide and the impulse to observe. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
