Second set in the Floral series sees just eight images in the set. This time I am going to focus on talking about the images and less ranting. I can’t promise anything though.

Why focus on flowers? Probably some childhood idea of love and romance. An addition to a simplified idea of beauty, perhaps. Or maybe it’s much deeper.

The sexual metaphor of flowers was rough ridden over a career’s length by Georgia O’Keeffe. Not knocking her. I love her. And some of these images pay great iPhone homage.

But it’s also the mathematical principles at play. Organic fractals like slow motion fireworks in equally beautiful color. Promising fruits and seeds and regrowth. A wonderful story that parallels the birth of everything.

It’s magical symbology in the Tarot seen in the rods suit. The thought process seen as a spark of an idea in buds. Playing to my intuition and wit. It all underscores the importance of something as simple as flowers.

It’s all about communication and creativity. The suit of rods going back to the maypole and further. Which reminds me of the Many Colored Land series by Julian May. Which I am currently reading and enjoying.

Also the great phallus and ovum in one object. Hinting at the predictions by Crowley of the Age of Horus. Our current era where the lines between male and female will be blurred. And they are.

If you think I am over processing a simple beauty, you may be right. But everything can’t be simply read in the age of meta. Even the simplest ideas are layered.
