MATTHEW PAGETT
My interest in flowers was sparked ten years ago by a quote from writer Jean Genet. He had been incarcerated at the Mettray Colony, a progressive prison in early c20th France. One of its finest inventions, Genet later said, was to have known not to put a wall around it: “it’s much harder to escape when you have to cross a bed of flowers.” Whether or not this is actually correct, I was struck by the idea of a flower possessing some kind of force.
