and natural) through the metaphor of the
Orchid, asking what drives our search for
the unique, as we seek to replicate the
object of our desire. So while orchids
were rare specimens, becoming an
obsession for orchid hunters, they are
now the object of a 'big business' in the
horticultural industry and the attraction of
botanical gardens. The artist's recurring
motifs are the wilted flowers that she uses
in her main works, focusing on their
textures and tortured forms.
