This work was done by Marijo Carney:
“LISTEN TO THE EARTH” ( 91/2″ x 12 3/4″ )
Nature has always been very sacred to me. It speaks to me and has helped me to guide and form my life. To denote the respect that I hold for the majesty of the Earth, in this piece I choose to use media appropriate for royalty; the deep burgundy red of brazilwood dye on calfskin vellum, and the richness of 23 karat gold leaf.
Regal Roman letters overlap to represent how Nature intertwines and permeates my existence. The words… to the…were designed to repeat the organic quality of the tree/land/ water image which is symbolic of life itself.
This piece is my way of honoring Earth and reminding mankind to listen to what she can teach.
