Green Hills was the first weaving Jimenez Underwood created after moving to Cupertino, California, where the rolling opulent green landscape surrounded her and her family’s new home, a stark contrast from the metropolis of San Diego, their former home. The artist states, “I wanted the viewer to experience 'flight’ as I often did in my lucid dreams, soaring over the hills, in the valleys, (borders) where humans made their marks, you could stop and rest…often there appeared fences, like scars torn into the green flesh of the Earth.”
