Can we imagine a world without flowers? Flowers are beautiful,
offering us delight in their colour, fragrance and form, as well as
their medicinal benefits. Flowers also speak to us in the language
of the plant form itself, as cultural symbols in different
societies, and at the highest levels of inspiration. In this
beautiful and original book, renowned thinker and geometrist Keith
Critchlow has chosen to focus on an aspect of flowers that has
received perhaps the least attention. This is the flower as teacher
of symmetry and geometry (the 'eternal verities', as Plato called
them). In this sense, he says, flowers can be treated as sources of
remembering -- a way of recalling our own wholeness, as well as
awakening our inner power of recognition and consciousness. What is
evident in the geometry of the face of a flower can remind us of
the geometry that underlies all existence. Working from his own
flower photographs and with every geometric pattern hand-drawn, the
author reviews the role of flowers within the perspective of our
relationship with the natural world. His illuminating study is an
attempt to re-engage the human spirit in its intimate relation with
all nature.
