Additional Info

Christina (after Wyeth)

The start point for this composition is the iconic painting Christina's World (Andrew Wyeth, 1948), which "depicts a young woman... lying in a grassy field... Her silhouette is tense, almost frozen, giving the impression that she is fixed to the ground. She stares at a distant farmhouse... ancient and greyed in harmony with the dry grass and overcast sky (MOMA catalogue).

I have imagined Christina's inner self, joyfully skipping across the scene (Skipping Vinegar Girl, 1936), the farmhouse now instead the Abbotsford Convent (mysteriously wrapped by the acclaimed artists Christo & Jeanne-Claude). Christina's leap of joy is a symbolic step into the new, reborn.

The scene is framed by a huge hollow tree.
