THE GARDEN SERIES by Marcia Joffe-Bouska

MARCIA JOFFE-BOUSKA

THE GARDEN SERIES

THE GARDEN HAS BEEN AN INFLUENCE ON MY WORK FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE AN ONGOING FASCINATION FOR THE METAPHOR IT PROVIDES. THE CYCLE OF BIRTH, GROWTH, DEATH, AND DECAY FORCES ONE'S CONSIDERATION. THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF ALL LIVING ORGANISMS IS UNDERSCORED AS THE EFFECTS OF ANY ALTERATION TO THIS SMALL ECOSYSTEM ARE OBSERVED.

ALSO SIGNIFICANT IS THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF THE GARDEN. ITS SUMMONS TO REFLECTION, CENTERING, AND CONNECTEDNESS IS A COUNTERPOINT TO THE FRENETIC DEMANDS OF AN INCREASINGLY IMPERSONAL WORLD. THROUGH FOCUSING ON WHAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED, UNASSUMING AND SEEMINGLY INCONSEQUENTIAL, LARGER TRUTHS ARE REVEALED.
