Erotic Flowers The Photographs by Xiao Hui Wang

The delicate lips of a rose's petals, the pollen-covered stamens of the calla lily, and the twilight inside the calyxes of blossoms--these sensual images come straight from the natural world. Through the lens of Chinese photographer Xiao Hui Wang these flowers spark the erotic imagination. Her keen eye and superb technical skill have already been celebrated in previous collections of architectural, nude, and portrait photograph. Here she invites viewers into a world of botanic pleasure as hallucinatory colors, haunting abstractions, and ingenious cropping transform the average flower bed into a garden of earthly delight.
