Four Seasons follows one figure through four states, using the seasons as their outward form. Spring uses rice paper; Autumn, dried herbarium leaves. What connects the four is less the seasons themselves than the movement running through them. In Spring, butterflies and color begin to stir and open. In Summer, parrots move at full outward intensity, the composition at its most saturated. In Autumn, the birds gather close and still, the energy turning inward as the figure turns from the world toward what she has already lived. Winter arrives at stillness — swans encircling a figure withdrawn into pause, not an end. These are the seasons as I experience them outside myself, and also as states I recognize within my own life.
