"I think of nudes as seed pods, like flowers or grasses.  They are universal bodies." - Ruth Bernhard

Materials:

• Protea Pods
• Mesquite Pods
• Coin Tree Leaves
• Assorted seed pods
• Agate

This work is a tribute to the seed pods my brother so lovingly collected for me from one of the weeping Mesquite trees on his Southwestern estate.  Their amber hues combined with the beautiful protea pods exude warmth and add a striking contrast to its background of a grape drying pallet.
