Our artwork study for October was on a work by Georgia O'Keefe shown below (fig. 1). I do not know the name of the work or the year it was painted. It was not in the one book in my library on her work though it may have been referred to as part of her Bones series. In search of my understanding of Georgia, I found I had to do one work first to get to the second one. I printed the photo onto fabric then cut it up and put it back together again in a different format (fig. 8). I then identified with the more oriental aspects of her art, especially the presence of the masculine and feminine (fig. 9). She loved her husband and her home, Ghost Ranch, in New Mexico but her true love and passion was for her art. See fig. 2-9.
