Here We Go Round the Prickly Pear Bush

2026

A monumental cactus rendered in bleached and collaged denim dominates the composition, its segmented paddle form constructed from layered fabric in varying shades of blue and indigo. White stitching traces the contours of each fleshy segment, creating a textural map across the surface while suggesting the plant's characteristic spines. The work transforms vernacular denim, a material loaded with working class associations, into a meditation on resilience and botanical form. Mounted on panel, the sculptural assemblage occupies the wall as both landscape and monument, merging Americana subject matter with abstracted material investigation.
