Continue ShoppingThe cicada in the largest magnolia has been there since the summer of something nobody can quite pin down. Eloise says it knows things. She says this with a smile that makes it sound less like a joke than she intends. Nobody has asked the cicada directly. Nobody has been sure they wanted the answer.
Southern Cicada is the collection's specimen piece in its most direct register. The cicada fills the frame — close enough to see the teal and cream striped body, the fine-line translucence of the wings, the particular precision of something that has been watching you back for considerably longer than you've been looking. Behind her, a warm peach-pink ground fades through shapes that might be magnolia petals or might be something older — ghost forms, soft and receding. The whole composition is less natural history plate than graphic close-up: bold, contained, filling the frame with the assurance of something that has been here since before the garden had a name. The print people stop in front of. The one that makes them lean in, and then wonder, briefly, how they feel about that.
