Publisher's Synopsis
Reexamining the meaning of flowers to human beings, Heidi Hatry's 'Not A Rose' offers images which are not innocent pretty flowers but elegant, compelling and yet grotesque sculptures that the artist has created from the offal, sex organs and other parts of animals. Hatry reminds us that the flowers that grace our homes are really the detached dead sex organs of living beings, therefore making us question the foundations of aesthetic reception in general.
