Note: Didion's interest in and affinity for water can be seen in her acquisition of this beautiful seascape. Celmins lives on the beach in Venice, CA, sharing Didion's love of the California coast as well as her ability to describe it in a spare, succinct style. The drypoint medium used here allows Celmins to create to the swells and surface attributes of water with delicate detail.
Literature: Gemini 1055.
