Cycles adorned - Steve

I'm finding flowers are used everywhere to adorn and beautify the most mundane and incongruous things. Spotted this tricycle earlier, the front wheel encircled by marigolds (the flowers that is, not the washing up gloves).


The bicycle is emerging as a possible theme/subject for the flower piece, an idea triggered by Devi Singh's bike, parked daily outside Arts Reverie. Could I make one out of ceramic flowers I wonder? The bicycle is such an iconic environmental symbol, appropriate to the recycling (no pun intended) of the ceramic flowers into another artwork.


This bicycle belongs to the caretaker at the Rani Sipri Mosque just outside the Pol, on the Astodia Road.
