Description:
Ripening is inspired by a photograph that Ellen took of some local Florida foliage. The foliage in question, is a specific palm tree in Florida that around December grows both red and green berries. As a result the tree is known as a "Christmas Palm". Ellen says, "It's December in Florida, and the berries of a Christmas Palm are responding to the warmth of the sun. The branches mature at different rates, showing the colors that prompted the name."
Techniques and Materials: Cotton Fabrics, Raw Edge Collage, and Machine Stitching
Inspiration photo shot in Melbourne, Florida
