April showers. May flowers.
……We’ve always thought that sounded like a collecting prompt.
From Warhol’s Polaroid eye to Sultan’s aluminum blooms, Ibbini’s algorithmic petals, Brodskaya’s paper-quilled botanicals, and Kennedy’s lens — flowers have moved through art history not as decoration, but as symbol. Abundance. Fragility. The insistence of beauty in a difficult world.
They’re all here. Different hands, different materials, one enduring subject.
