IN A NUTSHELL

SYMBOLISM
 
She's the beautiful, serene, and terrible maker, designer, and nurturer. A tattooed lady posed after Blake's "Ancient of Days" reaches from the apple orchard into the underground, and grasps the claw of a giant crow reaching up from the hidden loam. A vampiric mouth breaths out a ribbon scroll bearing the Dickinson quote "Nature is a haunted house, but art is a house that tries to be haunted." A designer's compass sticks out of a jumble of fruit and flowers, including the obligatory pomegranate. Tree roots and mycelial threads intertwine.
