Title: Orchid with a Long Tongue
Year: 2022 (February 28)
Size: 16” (W) X 20” (H)
Technique: Acrylic paint transfer and movement through the blowing of air, known as the ‘Dutch Pour Method’.

Abstract acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas and varnished with archival quality gloss protector. The Orchidaceae is one of the most diverse species of flowering plants in the world. This painting captures the varieties with long labellums meant to draw in polli-nators and give them a place to land. Since the orchid is also the flower of the clitoris and by extension the vulva, this painting also celebrates the value of the clitoris and the diver-sity of labias among women in the world.
