“Blue Clematis” Art Print

Description

The Blue Clematis by Maggi Mason is a collage. Clematis are often used to symbolize  ingenuity or artifice. Don’t we all need some in our life?

Maggi: In my Pacific North West garden I have two beautiful Clematis Alpina with the bright blue nodding flowers and yellow bell-like centers. Recently we decided to rebuild our back deck so reluctantly I had to sacrifice the one spreading blue Clematis which climbed along the railings. I felt sad as I cut it down and threw the discarded stems into the woods. I kept remembering with gratitude the times I spent sitting on the deck with a book under the shade of the Clematis and listening to the bees and Hummingbirds working around the flowers. Much later as I walked by I was so happy and surprised to see that one sprig of my lovely Clematis had self-rooted there in the woods from discarded stems. At the base of the deck a new plant was also springing up from the old root. Life is like that, new joys and experiences spring unexpectedly from old pain and sad memories.

The collage showcases Maggi’s craftmanship. Many small pieces of paper and/or fabric fit together seamlessly to display colors and texture on the board.
