Calla - Venus

"This piece, featuring the calla lily, is part of a larger body of work I’ve been exploring throughout the pandemic. The muted tones of these pieces reflect a more somber state of mind, in which I simply have not felt it appropriate to make bright and colorful work. It’s been difficult to make plans for the future, when the present has felt so uncertain. I still feel the need to create and to make beautiful things, but I am exploring a more quiet aspect of that creativity." –Jet Martinez
