Astrid PrestonÆs work is testament to the idea that landscapes do not exist in nature, but only in the mindÆs eye. While her images employ elements of place, they are also reconstructions that manifest personal perspectives or conceptual themes. On Reflections, the title of PrestonÆs new group of paintings, refers to her subject matter, but also suggests her cerebral processing and interpretation of nature.The ponds at Descanso Gardens in Southern California and MonetÆs garden at Giverny, France, serve as inspiration to her meditations. In fact, these gardens and the idea of gardens in general are aesthetic re-creations, idyllic ideals, the PlatoÆs Cave of nature. Within the artifice of a garden, Preston has chosen to focus on reflections, not the trees and plants themselves, but shimmering mirror images of them - the other side of the mirror; the reality that we construct in our minds. , English, Year2015, Illust.
