"White Flower," Georgia O'Keefe, 1929.

O'Keefe (1887-1986) is an ultra-famous painter, even today. Her studies of plants from extreme close-ups are topics of debate and conversation forty years after her death.

Many felt, and still feel today, that her work was an exploration of female anatomy and sexuality, but O'Keefe always vehemently denied it. Her reasoning was that by studying organic forms in extreme close-up, she reduced them to studies in color, pattern, and form.

No matter how you interpret her work, it's still worth checking out.

Happy Flower Friday!

From the Cleveland Museum of Art.

But in the climbing ecstasy of thought,
Ere consummation, ere the final peak,
Come hours like this…

“In Shepherd’s writing… true learning—like hill-walking—is arduous. True knowledge of the mountains is only possible through the suffering of the body brought on through the relentless motion of the feet.”

Progress report on new #freeformcrochet project. Top of the back and both arms shown, in double knit hand-dyed merino, also chunky recycled plastic bottles and a bit of metallic/Angora. Inspiration... Georgia O'Keeffe, body parts in a grey/red palette. The rest of the yarn is a lighter 4-ply. I needed a heavier yarn for everything to hang from. Much more surface work to do on the joined scrumbles.
