I spotted an Agave ovatofolia near the entrance gate of my neighborhood. It's frayed and tattered partly from winter storm Uri back in Feb. I think the rest of the fraying is due to weed whackers. I'm still fascinated with drying and dead forms of agave leaves. I wanted this one to be loose and for the piece to communicate a sense of not only fraying but coming apart in general....hence the underpainting blown around the top.
