The evening moon passes by my forehead and says, “You’re dreaming.”
And then everything changes places.

            – Marosa Di Giorgio, La Flor de lis, 2004. Translated by Jeannine M. Pitas.

For her latest exhibition, Las plantas de ese jardín conservaban en la sombra sus colores, Los Angeles-based Argentinian painter Patricia Iglesias Peco continues her exploration of the natural world by drawing influence from the Uruguayan poet Marosa di Giorgio (1932-2004) and the feminine cosmology elaborated in her writing.

Iglesias Peco has organized an afternoon of readings featuring the work of di Giorgio as well as other selections from invited readers.
