Santa Monica's palm trees swaying in the California breeze — three colours, built using the gradient screen printing method that gives the sky its depth and the fronds their movement. Tomlinson's travel-obsessed practice has taken her from Cape Town to California, and the Santa Monica palms sit naturally alongside her Night Palms from South Africa as a series of encounters with a specific kind of warm-climate, tall-palm light.
Part of the Endless Summer series, this is one of the more transportive pieces in her catalogue — the kind of print that does something specific to a room's atmosphere. Handmade, signed and numbered.
