Several years ago an artist and gardener friend suggested I plant garlic so that I could paint these garlic scapes. I find them each June at the farmers market and they have become part of how I perceive June. Their looping growth unrolls my visions of the long evenings and how pots interact with what they contain.
"What I want to do is add time to the texture, paint the landscape on an unrolling scroll, and set the giant relief globe spinning on its stand." --Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
