In preparation for my next project I’ve been collecting photographs of Mexican plants from the Arid Room at Hidden Lake Gardens. This one is Palmer Agave. It’s one of my favorite plants in the arid room. I love the subtle squiggle which adorns the center of this plant. I love a lot of the plants in the arid room. Some people race through the conservatory like a Nascar race. I like to take my time. I like to pick out patterns in nature. I use these patterns in my artwork. I recently picked out about 10 Mexican plants in the arid room to feature in my next project. I’ll talk more about this project in the weeks to come.
