This work is an extension of the concepts explored in the SUSPENDED (leaf) series. The flowers used in these works were selected from floriography texts as a reference to issues of language, metaphor, and cultural context in perception. The use of insects references the paradoxical nature of entomology collections – that specimens are killed for preservation.
