If Passion Were a Flower...

by Lariane Fonseca

Exquisitely beautiful, the photographs of Bombay-born Lariane Fonseca, were inspired by the writing of Virginia Woolf and the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. In this breathtaking book she displays not only expertise, but a sensitivity to the visual beauty of the world around her. Feminist Bookstore News recommended it as ...the gift book of choice for anniversaries or very special friends.

	If passion is a flower Then my eyes unfold rich colours - my senses, sensuous- so many layers The closer I look The more I see. Conchita Fonseca, 1989
Whilst photographing flowers and other aspects of nature, I have always maintained a philosophy of non-interference with the subject. I have never cut, placed, trampled, held or pushed out of my way any of the subject material. Lariane Fonseca, 1992
	The photographs have been taken in natural light, and always with a hand-held camera. Lariane Fonseca, 1992
