Exploding Into Colour

by Jeremy Reed, Gerry McNee (Illustrator), Lisa Wilkerson (Photographer)

The second collaboration between the brilliant Californian photographer Lisa Wilkerson and the award winning poet Jeremy Reed is focused on the beauty, sensuality, transience and driven immediacy of flowers. Two essential beauty-addicts combine their love of extravaganza by a fascination with the roots, names, indigenous properties and migration of flowers that for the purpose of this book belong to Lisa's garden paradise in Arroyo Grande, California. Lisa's singular sighting of individual flowers in their optimal moment of attraction is paralleled by Jeremy Reed's characteristically intense manipulation of visuals into acutely image obsessed poetry. The collaboration, like it's predecessor Big Orange Day literally explodes into colour.
