Cross Pollination

The f0rm of this painting is the archetype of the flower, although the underlying theme is communication. Through communication minds can exchange ideas with one another. This synergy allows us to do things, and think in ways that would not otherwise be possible. Cross pollination is a metaph0r f0r this because crossing the genetics of different flowers results in an increase in the number and novelty of possible outcomes. The "flowers" with their antenna like protrusions and square, in0rganic appearance are also suggestive of a satellite dish, a symbol of the revolution in communication technology that is occurring, leading to an every increasing cross pollination of ideas.
