Summer Flowers Ketubah
by Melissa Dinwiddie
A corner of the Garden of Eden is conceptualized here as a summer flower garden,
blooming with sunflowers, daisies and asters, lilies, foxgloves, irises, and more. Butterflies, bees and
moths flit among the blossoms, and ladybugs climb the leaves. Beneath the flowers
are inscribed the words from the Song of Songs,
"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine,"
in both English and Hebrew
The entire scene is rendered in collage, with so much dimension and shadow that it could be called a paper sculpture.
The text, printed in Melissa's exclusive calligraphic fonts, woven in and among the flowers, completes this compelling design.
