Pitfall Traps



The thing about pitcher plants is that they proudly strut their rotund carnivorous bellies; their "pitfall traps".  Their inviting stipples lips beckon, their skin sweats little droplets, and the pitchers suspend in a cantilevered way. An amalgam of wonderful visual details.

  From my recent series of Etheries, includes these pieces, Pfiu and Skaf, which I only just realized borrows many of my favorite details of my Pitcher Plant..... A beckoning, stipple-rimmed, crenolated portal, a voluminous belly containing an entrapped substance that is whirling as if in a state of being digested....
