All food begins in the soil. A wild and edible plant, onion grass appears in early spring; online advice about how to eradicate Allium vineale from one’s lawn abounds. Like the Mixteca-Puebla artist Tripod bowl, the work contains comforting patterns and forms that could be interpreted as snake-like. Both works suggest the many connections between all beings in the natural world. Like David Seltzer’s Sea Salt/ Lemon Sage archival print, Equinox, Oak Spring I uses a photographic process to present an abstracted version of familiar ingredients.
