Sappho’s Gardens
Originated in Greece, this project consists of a series of paintings and sculptures with collage adornments depicting mysterious gardens that are both dream- and life-like.
Inspired by canvases of Rosetti, Klimt, Schiele, and Van Gogh among many others, these gardens are as imaginary as they are real.
In this place, you Kypris taking up
in gold cups delicately
nectar mingled with festive:
pour.
Sappho (c.630 – c.570 BC)
