SECRET LIVES OF PLANTS SERIES
The collages are inspired by Stevie Wonder’s under-rated album The Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants [1979]. Wonder created an amazing soundtrack for Walter Green’s documentary The Secret Life of Plants, which examined the scientific findings of stimuli/plant response by a prominent African-American agricultural scientist: George Washington Carver. Listen to the lovely title song and meaningful lyrics.
