Artist statement Flowers growing on the ground They gather and pile up, overflow and are blown over by the wind They wither in winter and peek out when the snow melts In the insects in the flowers, in the gaps between stems, on the undersides of leaves, in seeds, even in uprooted roots Small beauty abounds on the ground Image of exhibited works
