Poinsettias may look big and flowery, but their bulk actually comes from large, red, leaflike structures, not flowers. The leaflike blooms of Waferboard 8, 1996, bear, in their blue, yellow, green, black, and pink forms, the hues of sun, sky, earth, grass, and body; the winding lines of New Mexico, New York, #24, 1998, have the flow and scale of a great alluvial flood plane; the puffy pinks of 20 Pearls (5), 2003, invoke dawn's cloud and the springtime peony. Its tiny flowers span only a few millimeters and cluster at the center of four white, leaflike structures that casual observers mistake for petals. |
