Blanched carrot tops, dried chile stems, dried chile seeds, hibiscus & squid ink - 2026

$2,500.00

Heavily textured with pronounced detail and motion, this piece exceeded expectations.

I typically emphasize the leafy portions of vegetable tops, but by blanching and arranging them this way, I made the stems the dominant feature. It took about an hour to lay them out, and the resulting sense of motion justifies the effort.

The rehydration of the dried chile stems introduced a deep red tone that combined with the hibiscus, resulting in a darker piece than initially envisioned.
