delicious power
exploding book structure, screenprint, etching, handcoloring. 6"x6". 2024
Hidden within the plant life of this structure is a quote by Virginia Woolf: You know, women have served for centuries as a looking glass, possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size. I've recently been exploring themes of fertility in my work and so started thinking about the amount of energy plants invest in their efforts to attract pollinators. They are drawn to the visual display (petals, color, etc...) but primarily the nectar produced by the female parts of the plant- only to accidentally collect pollen from the smaller male organs.
