White Cherry Blossoms in the Time of Corona
by Rosa Valado, Fellow in 2005
April-May 2020
"I collected branches from my favorite cherry blossom trees, in Transmitter Park, by the East River. In April they're covered with beautiful white blossoms and I brought some back to my home studio from daily walks. These images come from the ten-foot scroll where I draw them, mixed in with some “covid” imagery as metaphor for the times. I also added some writing – thoughts, feelings, poems – painted out with watercolor."
