The article talks about artist Wendy Hanson and her creations. One of her art pieces is a scientific illustration of an insect onto a patchwork surface of tender rose petals. Her art is based on the body, the quality of animate existence, and the gender politics surrounding body image in culture. Hanson's other sculptural forms also feature roses as image.
