Pastel
1 of 2 Companion Pieces
Behind The Swinging Curtain of Ivy represents the secret garden in the state in which Mary discovers it, with leaves brown and drooping and the grass a charcoal wisp. Even Mary herself is drawn slightly frozen as a shadowy silhouette. Yet, Cici still captures the potential of the garden. The minty green leaves contain a hidden vibrancy. There is the aftershock of movement, as if the subtle life of the garden only froze once observed.
