Egg tempera on panel, 26 x 16 cm, August 2025.
Enter Thagyamin on his elephant, who records names of virtuous people, visiting the garden for three days on the back of the Royal Elephant Airāvaṇa. It is summer. The garden is in full bloom. Persephone has sown the seeds of the pomegranate and plums and they are bountiful. Pomegranates convey joy and love, the highest attainment of the human spirit. I lay them at the feet of gods and this year’s heroine – Tithonia, who arrived from Cranberry island as seeds and is enchanting me with her flowers.
In celebration we drink Azaline, a type of vermouth, described as a “Silk Road spirit” with botanicals sourced from the ancient trade route between Europe and Asia. I sense orange peel, juniper, gentian, tarragon, and blackcurrant, and its beginnings as Burgundy wine.
Patrick and I have begun a collaboration. He is making me some frames inspired by our visit to the Siena Exhibition. I am filling them with my altarpieces of joy and love – arrangements of stuff I’ve collected.
Two of the objects in this came from our recent trip to Normandy!
