Think of flowers and you think of beauty, of romance... and, especially if they are painted flowers, of death: ever since its Dutch 17th century heyday, the Vanitas tradition has been using the transitory nature of flowers to stand in for how all of us will die. But enough of that: ‘Say It With Flowers’ sees a dozen artists tackle other subjects through flowers: modesty, sex, economics, menopause, cultural difference, fertility, consumerism, mystery, ageing, darkness, economics, culture, shyness, ageing, human relations with flowers, epistemology, and individual destiny… Then there's the matter of east meets west, and a link to Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging.
