She calls the piece Shauquethqueat’s Eutrochium which was coined from the name of a Native American healer Shauquethqueat who introduced the healing benefits of this plant. She says ‘Shauquethqueat’s Eutrochium. A so-called Joe Pye weed, (not a weed but a native wildflower here), rises with the sun, facing off the skyline across the Hudson. A vision of Nature winning, of plants being the ones towering over us for a change, putting us back in our place. May we learn. May they come back.’
