This original
knotwork design painting shows four different wildflowers intertwined with barbed wire.
The wildflowers represent the different biozones from the plains to the mountains of the
Rocky Mountain region. The Cone Flower grows in the higher elevations, the Thistle grows
from the mid-elevations out into the plains, and the Indian Blanket grows in the plains.
The Rose grows mainly around human habitations. The barbed wire represents the impact of
man on these environments. While working on the design for this piece, Elantu took long
walks, making drawings of wildflowers before selecting the ones she wanted to use in the
painting. She also studied barbed wire and noticed that when relaxed, it tended to coil
into spirals - the Celtic symbol for ongoing life. Placing the barbed wire in spiral
patterns in the painting represents hope for man's ability to learn from his mistakes.
This is the first painting in a series featuring flowers intertwined with
various forms of fencing. This is the eighth mandala in the Celtic Mandala Series.
