Purple Haze: Hydrangeas in Space | Elizabeth Zvonar
2016
23.5 x 15.25 inches
Edition of 20, 3 APs
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The process used to make Purple Haze: Hydrangeas in Space began with an analogue cut-and-paste image that I then scanned, enlarged digitally, and output onto photo paper. The image consists of golden-tipped French-manicured nails as stems of a bouquet of star-shaped pompom flowers, the pink and mauve hydrangeas floating in deep space into new frontiers.
In the words of Jimi Hendrix, from “Purple Haze”:
Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny but I don’t know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky . . .”
–Elizabeth Zvonar
