“In this work I have concentrated on drawing and paint-

ing flowers because their life cycles are so compact and

succinct - and because their intense functional beauty

opposes so powerfully their transience. The content

of this work for me, then, is not just time passing, time

spans, time arcs, time whole”.

Robert Janz (1985)
