In Last Light, Jeanne M. Connolly offers a meditative close to her Valencia orange series. The composition centers around a luminous burst of orange tulle and layered textiles, evoking the fruit at its fullest and ripest—caught in the warm glow of day’s end. Nestled against a base of indigo denim and surrounded by swirling shades of ivory, blush, deep fuchsia, olive, and cobalt, the orange appears both radiant and still.
The textures ripple across the surface like soft shadows or fading sunlight—stitched memories of color, warmth, and form. Each piece of fabric carries a story, repurposed into something collectively vibrant and intimate. The rich contrasts between soft tulle, striped cotton, and patterned scraps lend the piece a tactile energy, while the grounded palette keeps it anchored and contemplative.
Last Light captures a quiet moment of ripeness—when nature, color, and material all converge in harmony. It is a tender homage to transition, harvest, and the enduring beauty found in reclamation.
