Description
Coffee Table Book of: Roses. The rose at close range, from the first tight bud to the blown full head.
Large plates follow a single flower through everything it does: the spiral heart of a garden rose, dew held along a petal's cooling edge, a hedge of crimson receding into evening light, the green calyx on the back of a bloom that almost nobody looks at. Colour is held true from plate to plate, and the pictures are printed large, so a spread reads as one image rather than a grid of small ones.
Beside the plates sit short notes on what the eye is looking at: why a red rose looks like velvet, why white petals carry no pigment at all, why a cane bent toward the horizontal flowers along its whole length. Enough to reward a second pass, never enough to interrupt the picture.
Made as an object first: a large, quiet, full-colour volume for a table, a shelf or a gift, and for anyone who grows roses, arranges them, or simply likes looking at them.
Printed in full colour on heavy 150gsm coated paper at 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches), as a paperback.
