With October comes the final stages of harvest time. For me, who incorporates vegetables and other plants I grow into resin artwork, it is a busy season with less sleep and more time spent working at night. As I sort through piles of multicolored heirloom tomatoes, slice squash, poke holes in beans, and lay out trays of produce to dehydrate in preparation for winter (i.e., too cold outside stuck inside craft season), I can’t help but dream of a shadowy companion. Will my efforts entice a wild Umbreon to appear? Maybe if I set out all the tomatoes under the moonlight in offering?
13 x 9 x 1.5 inches, 2025. Made with: amethyst jewel and accordion orange heirloom tomatoes, cayenne pepper, yellow squash, gniff (purple with white) carrot, white oyster mushrooms, yard-long green beans, and purple runner beans from my garden in Minneapolis; locally-foraged coreopsis flowers gone to seed, Illinois bundleflower seed pods from my family’s yard in rural Peabody Kansas; upcycled jeans, thread, white flour, resin, oak frame.
