A huge thank you to Seafoam Driftwood for this stunning piece of weathered manzanita brought down from the high desert. The care they put into sourcing and rehoming these special bits of nature is heartwarming, lovely people! ❤️
This piece replaced a gigantic agave that was slowly but surely taking over the most central part of the garden, see last picture.
For me it was so special to work with this wood as we were doing this garden refresh on the 33 year anniversary of my daddy’s passing. He was an absolute nature and wildlife lover who dedicated his life to studying the forest and all the critters who called it home. An avid hunter and fisherman who fed our family with the fruits of his time spent, along with my mama who prepared everything with love.
He was a taxidermist and always had driftwood and other elements of nature around for use in his work and for inspiration. So this piece and the timing of this install felt very close to home and his spirit was tangible all week. Miss you always Daddy, thanks for the inspiration to create art with nature. ❤️
Also, RIP to this country music legend, we listened to this record as kids, daddy loved all the greats!
