Perfect wallpaper for George and Laura

The colour blue has always intrigued me. Prussian blue pigment's uptake of radioactive isotopes is a fascinating property and inspired me to make wallpaper that features stylized sunflowers, which also uptake radiation, and prussian blue pigment, in case we need to protect ourselves in the event of the use of dirty (i.e. radioactive) bombs near our homes.This wallpaper was first displayed at the Seymour Art Gallery in Deep Cove, BC as part of the "Serious Women Artists Don't Do Flowers" exhibit, held April 15-May 11, 2008, which I curated. An essay about all the work in the show can be ordered through Light Factory Productions, http://www.loiszing.blogs.com
