Peak Summer represents what was actively growing in my garden at that time. Purple basil, tomato vines, nasturtium and marigold blossoms. I don’t typically reiterate my work in forms beyond two dimensions. The process allowed me to see moments I hadn’t before, and find compositions within a composition. I’ll probably use mine untraditionally – to hold flowers from my garden.

Collect a hand-painted ceramic amphora by Jordan Casteel, launched in support of charity: water.
Jordan considers the paintings she makes of her garden self-portraits, in the sense that they encapsulate time spent cultivating, observing and documenting. Peak Summer takes one such painting as its starting point, encircling an amphora with a tangle of vines, leaves and flowers.
The artwork belongs to a series of seven, conceived and crafted in a transatlantic collaboration between Artspace and Avant Arte. Proceeds will support charity: water in their endeavour to end the global water crisis.
