A petal denotes a constant quest, which does not end in the process of finding, the artist's choice of pursuing the "blue flower" that always awaits us beyond the next hill, the pattern made by petals falling on a sheet of paper, which reveals a moment in the life of the plant. Cyanotypes prepared for an exhibition at the Skarpa Gallery (a wooden cottage next to the house in Dobra) were executed in a spirit of enabling plants to speak in their own names, and thus offering hope and revival; forward once again - under the guidance of plants. Those, which the author of this text selected for the exposition, grew in the garden in Dobra around the house created by Mariusz Tchorek. In accordance with the spirit of the "Place" A. Hamilton attached importance to displaying only likenesses of flowers that appeared during his stay there. The Petal Theory was inspired by a conversation with Katy Bentall and joint reflections about plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
