An intertextual, fictionalized narrative weaves together several years of Mexican artist Erick Meyenberg's observations, research, video recordings, and paintings based on logbooks kept by gardener Chris Shea. Meyenberg's conversations with Shea about his ephemeral landscape infer Shea's terminal cancer diagnosis, which propels the deep emotional intelligence of this bilingual book as it reflects on time, loss, and change. Inspired by Shea's delicate language for color, Meyenberg's project becomes a memorial to Shea's own artistry and irreplaceability. Eloisa Haudenschild, Director of inSite, commissioned Meyenberg's project with Shea for haudenschildGarage in La Jolla, California, and enlisted curator Ruth Est vez, the text's author.

Industry Reviews

In the rich interplay of the many sources Estevez pulls together, questions are generated that don't have easy answers. The reader cannot escape the heavy weight of historical representations of gardens, and the significance given to them by observers and toilers alike. .... How do we live more fully in the seasons, the uncertainty, and the revealing? ... A beautiful book.

-"Life and Death in a Garden" by Chris Hoff, OC Art Blog

Even When Fall Is Here offers an excellent case study for my contemporary art class, as it exemplifies the collaborative nature of art, writing, and design. It is a gorgeous volume that speaks to studio and art history majors alike, and to my campus' students especially, many of whom are Spanish speakers of Mexican descent.
