About The Artwork
The first bloom of 40 from the total of 197 Pensamientos (thoughts) for every country in the world, painted by J R Shepherd during her isolation from the Covid 19 Pandemic in 2020 whilst in her studio high up in the mountains of Granada, Spain. The Pansy is a flower saturated with meaning and symbolism. The piece is titled after the Spanish name for pansy as not only was Jessica in Spain during this historic moment, but the name, akin to the French 'Pensée', has a double meaning for 'thoughts'. In the language of flowers, a pansy means that someone is 'thinking of you'. Often used as a get well flower, pansies can show that you sympathise with someone's pain and distress, in this case, a country. Each pansy in this piece has been painted individually on a 15 x 15cm square and was posted to a recipient somewhere in the world. The finished pandemic posie of 197 is the complete collection of all of these tiny paintings. Masquerading in the final piece of 200, Jessica has included three imposters, who have appropriated the pansy patterns to go unnoticed.
