Victory Garden Renewal
Victory Garden Renewal, selected for two juried competitions and winning first place in one, is an abstract reflection of the resurgence of gardening and homesteading. During and since the pandemic some people feel driven to simplify their lives. Small kitchen gardens, for example, are sprouting at more homes, providing not just nutrition, but a means of being able to contribute something essential and natural and controllable in this time of personal and international struggles. The resilience evidenced by the blossoming of the gardens, and their owners, during difficult times inspired this piece. Created by Kim Keelor of Carolina Artworks.
