Giorno's poem "Welcoming the Flowers," written in 2004, led to this portfolio of eighteen prints produced with Durham Press in 2007. Each print is turned into a bouquet by bringing together a range of rich pastel colors, combined to evoke the flower it represents.
Each print was produced as an edition of 70.
