About MeThis work is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend and sent her an example of each new poem print and multiple as it was made.recto:
Wildflower,n.
verso:
Representing Nature, the opposite to all that is artificial, the wildflower is a 'text' which can be moralising, or ideological, or indeed subversive. We only think of the role of Nature (and of wildflowers) in the French Revolution and the writings of Rousseau, which preceded it.
