Between Earth And Water (Daffodils)

Between Earth and Water (Daffodils), is a two part book that Artist, Claire Christerson created this Winter 2018 while she was in Limerick, Ireland and then in Los Angeles. The first half of the book: Between Earth and Water was made while she was in Limerick. All of the drawings were made and inspired by the nature that she saw.  Prior to the trip, the theme earth and water had been prevalent and was solidified with the text when she returned. The second half of the book: Daffodils, was made while she was in Los Angeles. The graphite line drawings were made wherever Christerson went on her trip and were inspired by life, growth and observing the plants and structures that were around her. Christerson created this book with the intention of it being a children’s book for anybody, with the first section coming from a younger place and the second half coming from a place of analyzing personal growth, something that feels more like being a teenager. As a whole these drawings were all made though travel and were extremely special for Christerson to imagine and produce. In order to bring this book even more to life, Christerson created stone sculptures to emulate her stone wall drawings.
