In Pteris Purlieu, layered fragments of fern impressions drift across a patchwork of translucent color, evoking a terrain both cultivated and wild. This mixed media work weaves together echoes of foliage, filtered light, and shifting seasons. Earthy golds, moody blues, and oxidized greens converge, suggesting a liminal borderland—a purlieu—where the natural world quietly reclaims space. The repeated forms of the pteris fern act as silent witnesses to cycles of presence and passage, memory and renewal.
