'Night Blooms‘ is an encounter on a night-time walk through a tropical garden finding white orchids, growing on a tree, shining in the darkness. Mary Weatherford explains:
""I made a group of paintings about Hawaii, but I hadn’t shown them, because they were so personal, like pure painting, pure storytelling... Those blooms are transient, they're moving. It's a moment that will be then gone. That's the loss, the joy and the loss, somehow knitted together. "
