Bromeliad, 2020. 13-color screen print on rising museum board. 28 x 23 inches. Edition of 200. $2,000. Plants have long populated Jonas Wood's work; a curiosity sparked by the artist's move to Los Angeles and an exposure to new plants different from the flora of his East Coast origins. Bromeliad is conceptualized and composed in the same way as Wood's Clippings series. In this work, the plant is removed from its background and context, like a scientific extraction in which the plant clippings are rendered as specimens or evidence of a larger exploration.
