Transformative Fields

July 1, 2022

Blooming in all their glory, the pride and joy of California abounds as summer's sun shines on. Shine with it, you wonderful unique human. California Natives featured: Baby Blue Eyes, Prairie Mallow / California Checker Bloom, and Coulter's Matilija Poppy My third work in the Cali Pride series represents the Trans Flag as a field of tall California Wildflowers. It is no longer June, but the work to protect people’s rights continues on. Trans folks have had a long struggle for their rights, which has become more threatening since the Trump presidency. From difficulties adjusting an ID to reflect your gender, to anti-trans bathroom bills, to investigating families seeking gender-affirming care for their trans children, and now using the Roe v. Wade overturning to argue for banning transitioning medication… it is a hard time to be trans. So what can you do? First, VOTE IN NOVEMBER. MAKE NOISE. Educate yourself about how issues affect different groups, listen to people from those groups, and help others educate themselves too. This kind of harm CANNOT continue. To my Trans siblings, you deserve the world. I hope this artwork conveys the deep respect I have for you and your truth. I’ll keep fighting for you.

Oh, and if this was not already obvious. Staff start banning TERFs challenge. Seriously, show up for your community you claim to care about.

The aptly named California suncup (Camissoniopsis bistorta).

How I love the name “suncup.”

The beast was tall, towering over multiple animals as it emerged from its den. It had grey fur that grew darker around its knees, elbows and the tips of its fluffy rabbit ears.

Its muzzle was a light grey that spread to its neck along with the bases of its ears.

It had six piercing golden yellow eyes that stared in all directions. Its four arms grabbing at anything to observe up close. Its large hind paws stepped on the stick filled grass as its two sets of large ears flicked in different directions.

It's furry chest rising and falling as I breathed heavily. It stooped down onto its knees and multiple hands to observe a line of ants. Its large beaming eyes glowed in the faint light of the rising sun.

It stood up and stepped over the ants, walking farther into the woods. It came across a stream and splashed around for a while before chasing after a squirrel.

I dug up some brodiaeia elegans (aka harvest brodiaeia, elegant cluster lily) corms today. It was a lot more work than I anticipated.

The roots aren't that deep, but these wildflowers grow in hard pan, making them difficult to dig up. Even when you pre-soak the ground, the water barely penetrates. I spent almost an hour gathering these. The biggest is only 2cm in diameter.

I'll try again in the evening when the sun's not beating down. It will take a while to gather enough for an actual meal, let alone enough to brew even a ½gal of wine.
