Two reasons I can think of to do an abstract of a flower: to see up close what flowers are made of, all their "bits and pieces" as people on this side of the pond like to say; or, to look into another world, a place where no man has ever ventured, and will never venture. I see both here; an experiment in looking at flowers, but also a new universe, a delight of light, and shadow, of tones and colors, of places to rest (if you were small enough), of places to run and to hide, but always in fun, never for real. I'd like to live here, I think. |
