oil and oil stick on repurposed cotton wrapped props books
23 × 15 × 3 inches
Part of the Sabin’s California Botanica series, Nocturnal Blossoms is inspired by the vibrant flora of California and the sense of renewal that accompanies spring. Energetic brushwork and layered color evoke blossoms in motion, capturing the vitality and movement of the natural world rather than describing it literally.
Expanding beyond the traditional canvas, the work is painted on repurposed cotton prop books, transforming an everyday object into a sculptural celebration of growth and possibility. Influenced by California's landscapes and an abstract expressionist approach to painting, the piece invites viewers to reconnect with the memories, sensations, and optimism that accompany the changing seasons.
