Barker's Lemon Tree
Inspired by: Clive Barker "Abarat Absolute Midnight" Here is the passage: "A tree appeared in her head, driving away the gloom: a living tree with lemon-white blossoms and a canopy so perfectly blue..."
The background of the image is book paper torn from an Italian short story book, painted blue and silver and stitched together with silver thread. (If you have read the books, you know the relevance of stitched bits.) The tree is torn pieces of black and white polka dot paper- the edges are inked in silver. The flowers are made with 5 die-cut leaves (these were my daughter's idea) in lemon white paper. The addition of the five falling petals was my husband's suggestion. The words are silver ink on black and the passage is black ink on yellow notebook paper.
