Catalogue Note

"Orchids are like perfectly evolved little sculptures in themselves, they're full of color, interesting shapes and beauty. Even though they are a plant's reproductive organs, they pun on human ones too. They make you realize it is color, life and sexuality that keep the world turning. They are a celebration of life. I like all kinds of flowers, irises, sunflowers and anthuriums are great but none are quite as good as orchids."
