This is my theme for the "briar rose". It's a waltz for wild roses and blackberry vines- especially the latter. When I was a child, many fairytale story books in the house depicted blackberries, blackberry blossoms, wild roses and brambles in a decorative fashion; I found this enchanting beyond words. I spent my entire childhood believing brambles to be magical fences between the material and mystical realms, associating them with faeries, adventures, knights and dragons.
In this piece, I tried to convey a sense of exploration- the mind of a little girl who is in love with the forest and loiters around the blackberry bushes growing on the edges of ravines and ditches. It is equally delightful to eat the berries, to smell their blossoms or to observe the bees, wasps, mice, rabbits and spiders going about their business within them.
When I discovered wild roses, I deemed them to be a sister plant to the blackberry. The wild rose is for a knight, and the blackberry blossoms are for his faerie companions. Thankfully, there are many wild roses and blackberries alike in my town! There have been so many this year that I decided to do a redux of this old piece of mine from 2012. I hope you enjoy it!
