Beneath the Palms.

For over 23 years, French Polynesia has been our second home/studio. It was purely by design, as we decided this within the first hour of the first day we arrived in 2000. It immediately felt like a new and unique universe that had many of the same features as the other, but completely different. For example, the same Pacific Ocean, but crystal clear for miles and miles, appearing fresh, like you could drink it.
The same big blue open skies with white flowing clouds. Although, these clouds form many more vertical shapes than the usual horizontal forms due to their proximate location to the equator. More astonishing, no pollution. Of course, there are fish, but in Tahiti, there are individual fish that wait for us just off of our porch for a water walk together. Even my own eating habits, of no buttery, sugary foods (considerate of my cancer history), are completely unfamiliar as every morning I consume many irresistible freshly made French Polynesian croissants.

Charles Schulz had said to me many times, “the artist succeeds if he or she can present something familiar from an unfamiliar angle.” So, when in this other universe of French Polynesia, I have always felt like I was participating in some amazing art form.

In these 23 years, every trip to Tahiti has always felt as if somewhere in the eight hours, across the ocean in the middle of the dark night, we had gone through some kind of hole in the sky into another universe, high above the clouds, lit by the moonlight. Humorously, due to our Tahitian croissant overindulgence, I have fancifully referred to this event as the “flying croissant.”

Although these delicious croissants became a very suitable metaphor for this other universe, their overindulgence also comes with a very lethargic after effect, usually “Beneath the Palms.” In this suite, consisting of four new prints, titled, “Beneath The Palms”, the croissant is once again used as a metaphor for several of the addicting, thriving characteristics of this other “flying croissant” universe.

“The Chocolate Vanilla Croissant”
The vanilla, grown in Tahiti, is regarded at the highest standards by chefs around the world. It is infused in many of their recipes and particularly produces a very special unique flavor in their croissants. Of course, I am always finding inspiration in the landscape and simplicity of Tahiti, but was in complete ecstasy when I experienced their freshly made dark chocolate sweetly together with their island vanilla croissant, existing in delicious harmony. This chocolate vanilla croissant is possibly a perfect metaphor for the Tahitian’s total disregard of strict divisions in all living things. Although, it is still an irresistible tasty plate with all of the seductions of overindulgence, eventually sinking one into another lethargy “beneath the palms,” bathing in a vital environment of simplicity, energy, and light (the other “flying croissant “universe).
