Framed* takes the position of a traditional wall hung painting. This work creates a living piece from the standard subject matter of still life painting, a painting that desires to be viewed, and indeed will wilt if not. This flower hungers for attention, not water.

A Never-ending deluge containing hundreds of made objects, exuding a consensus of negotiated and manufactured reality. ]]> Words and objects have in common the organized capacity to say something; at the same time, since they are signs, words and objects have the bad faith always to appear natural to their consumer, as if what they say is eternal, true, necessary, instead of arbitrary, made, contingent. - Edward W. Said on Barthes.
