A Shaker Sisteręs vision on plants,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shaker Sister's Drawings (Hardcover)
Maybe the Shakeręs visions of the "spiritual world" shaped Sister Sarleęs perception of the "natural world" and therefore influenced her nice, simple, stylized drawings. On stressing the straight stalks and the symmetry of every plant she captures the essence of each species. I like the a little bit naive-looking illustrations very much because of their honesty and purity. The plants are well-arranged on every page, with a certain economy of layout, which fits into the Shaker-philosophy. I think in some way Sister Helenaęs spirit lives on in these prettily-drawn illustrations that can please both- flower lovers and botanists.
