Title:A Sprout among Thorns
Size: 23 inches x 29 inches x 1/2 of an inch (Framed)

The sprout out-shines the grandeur, power and glamour of the dominant and warmly invites the viewer to contemplate how its humility can provoke in so much wonder. If only we had the eyes to see and the will to participate in such humility…
