Fuchsias Baseball T-Shirts

Description: My mum loved fuchsias. She tenderly grew them as pot plants on our patio and overwintered them in the frost-free basement. She was stunned when she first came to Ireland in summer and saw miles of large fuchsia shrubs lining roadsides in the western regions where winters are mild enough for them to survive. Their delightful deep red and purple flowers contrast with the many shades of green the Irish countryside has to offer. Inspired by Mark Rothko's paintings, here I offer a radical color field abstraction of such scenes: Framed in dark green, five horizontal color bands stand for an overcast sky and fields in different shades of green with a thin color accent band in the red and purple of Fuchsia magellanica.
