Mother Earth Bites The Dust
Saturday, June 21, 2008



It has been my experience in the past that bits and pieces of human anatomy don't mix well with plants or plant parts. The usual results either look in bad taste and anything combining red roses with the female anatomy is a cliché. But here is an example that did work for me. I had to submit a photograph to a show in Calgary called Mother Earth. I consulted with Katheryn Petersen who contributed her fine chest while my Clematis 'Montana' did the rest. Since this picture was taken the clematis died (it may have been around 40 years old) and as far as I know Peterson and her chest are just fine.
