Bougainvillea (the locks)
Bougainvillea bracts stay papery and bright long after drying, made to keep their color.
Bougainvillea speaks of passion worn lightly.

Materials & framing
Printed and framed to order, ready to hang when it arrives. Printed on premium luster paper with rich color and fine detail, protected behind a clear acrylic front, and set in a solid wood frame: White (gallery white), Black (matte black) or Red Oak (warm wood).
Printed to order on thick matte paper, shipped rolled for your own frame. We use 189 gsm (10.3 mil) matte paper with a smooth, glare-free finish and archival inks. It ships rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube, may hold a slight curl, and flattens overnight under a book. It fits any standard frame of that size. Prefer it framed? Choose Framed above for a solid wood frame in White, Black or Red Oak.
Size & fit
Available in 10″×8″ and 20″×16″.
Hanging hardware is included. These measurements refer to the print size. The wood frame adds about 0.75″ on each side, so the framed piece is roughly 1.5″ wider and taller than the print.
For unframed prints, the selected size is the paper size and fits a standard frame of that size. A frame adds about 1 inch on each side.
The Story Behind the Artwork
“Every leaf, twig, petal, and seed becomes a brushstroke.”
This piece was born as a variation on the one before it, simply playing with hair, like the braids of the African women I lived among for quite some time.

The original composition was made entirely from real botanicals.
The Botanicals Behind the Artwork
5 real botanicals composed the original artwork
Shirley arranged each leaf, pod, stem, and natural fiber by hand before photographing the finished composition.
Flame vine and yellow bells (the braids)
Both flowers are trumpet-shaped cousins, built long and narrow for the same hovering visitors.
Braided trumpets are songs woven together.
Seed pods and berries (woven through)
Pods and berries are the plant's finished sentences, whole seasons packed into small shells.
Seeds in the hair carry the future close.
Tabebuia seed eyes
Tabebuia seeds come with two papery wings, so even the eyes of this portrait were built to fly.
Winged seeds for eyes: a gaze already traveling.
Green leaf collar
A fresh leaf's V shape follows its central vein, the leaf's own backbone and water line.
The small green V is calm at the collarbone.
