Mary Shindell, artist 
2019







 Saguaro Cacti bloom as the desert becomes warm and many people leave the valley for cooler climates. However, those of us who stay year-round are rewarded with the elegant spectacle of their blooming and the bright red fruit that follows.

Blooming is created with digital drawings, styrene, Lucite tubes, LED lights, optical fiber, Plexiglas and aluminum.
