This was composed in the neighborhood next to where I live. Some folks like to dress up their mailboxes with flowers (I call them mailbox jewelry).
From The Artist's Story blog:
"Spiral is one of my favorite flower compositions. I love how the stretched out stamens form a concentric circle around the stigma as if they had burst open. I also feel that it has an implied sense of motion like a living Ferris wheel that could start spinning at any moment. This was created at two times life-size, and the high level of detail allows surface texture on both the anthers and petals to be seen."
