Mixed Media Assemblage | 10 x 14 x 4 inches | Custom Framed
 
Nature Inside and Out offers a quiet study of nature’s persistence and vitality.
 
Set in a stylized green room, the scene blurs the line between the wild and the tame: a mirror adorned with coral and pale-yellow garden flowers signals curation, while a surge of living growth pours through an open window, reminding us how stubbornly nature resists containment.
 
Human presence lingers in bright red boots and a watering can left mid-task. A miniature Charles Rennie Mackintosh chair adds a refined historical note, balancing order against organic disruption and anchoring the room’s calm amid the incoming flora.
 
Framing the mirror, a hand-crafted necklace in peridot, citrine, freshwater pearls, and Murano glass glints like sunlight through leaves — reinforcing the theme of natural energy pressing inward. 
 
Lyrical and layered, this contemporary assemblage delivers an environmental message through a miniature interior still life.
