It is exciting to once again be in an exhibition in NYC, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, to be exact!
I love everything about this adventure.
The painting on exhibition, Daphne Transforming into Laurel, is a recent exploration of allegory. One of the characters, the mountain Laurel, plays a big part. Laurel is at the event horizon of the Fibonacci geometry in the painting's design.
Painting a Laurel fulfills a wish/promise to the universe, to “do something” with the Laurel. I would experience their sweet aroma, like a friend, on walks along the northern slopes of the Catskill Mountains.
The domestic Laurel is a long-lived evergreen with unusually large clumps of flowers of pink, white, or lavender, unscented.
The original wild native has smaller delicate pink flowers with an unforgettable sweet fragrance.
Makes me wonder about the possibility of nature and scent… is there a Fibonacci equivalent for smell. Domestication and hybridization disrupt. If Fibonacci numbers in life control visual growth, then how does it affect our other senses like the scent?
