Metamorphosis Collage

What interests me most is the way in which the human body/anatomy corresponds to structures in nature, plants, trees, and the landscape. This can manifest itself either internally or externally in the form of patterns, designs, or metaphorical context; the subtle yet enchanting similarities between the inner life of plants and trees and humans. What are humans if not plants and trees, themselves made-up of organic material? Anthropomorphic imagery is often explored through depictions of the animal nature of humans and vice-versa but botany is seldom explored as the subject matter for examining the relationships between people and plants. Exceptions to this are the horticultural etchings of JJ Granville upon which this series of collages including " Metamorphosis" have largely been inspired. This French nineteenth century illustrator much admired by the Surrealists, personified flowers in his volume Les Fleurs Animées – 1947 that is a mix of the satirical and poetic images of flowers.
