Screen prints created for the Long Game at The Arts Fund Santa Barbara, an exhibition of work by four female-identifying artists.
The Watermelon series celebrates the hand painted boards made by street-side vendors, to advertise their fruit and veg for sale. These signal the arrival of Summer, with the vibrant patterns of green and fleshy pink watermelon, in materials that echo those used by the vendors. The three prints tell the story of the growth on the vine, the joyous fruit of the labor, as well as the produce that may spoil before ever being harvested.
