Love is the only flower 2012
Sarah Lewtas, Ireland
| ‘Love is the only
Flower’ is made from a selection of wild flowers drawn
in various locations during recent years ranging from my home in
Ireland to residencies in Portugal and Georgia. There is something fragile about wild flowers and their persistence often in the most hostile of environments. The translucence of the Japanese paper adds to their fragility, I’ve made the covers in funereal white and hand written (rather badly I fear) in Arabic the names of the 30 recorded victims of the Al Mutanabbi bombing. My thanks to Beau Beausoleil for forwarding May Alkazaz’s translation. |
