Artist Statement
A New Bloom is here. With every new bloom; a new tragedy. The tragedy of decay looms over each new bloom. Every flower starts dying once its been cut. The effort to preserve something beautiful can be fruitless. In this sense beauty is ephemeral. What can be gained from cutting a rose besides a prick of the finger? When the blood runs down the fingers; the pedals fall at the same time. A New Bloom. A New Tragedy.
