Inspired, in part, by the Waxahatchee song “Lilacs” (“The lilacs drink the water / and the lilacs die / and the lilacs drink the water/ marking the slow, slow, slow passing of time”) this painting can be seen as a look through overlapping layers of natural processes, each at different stages of their cycle, passing slowly. This idea is further carried with the medium used: a thrifted, mass-produced piece of home decor, now further-still from a landfill.
