From the essay by John Wood: "There is a long tradition of flower painters, and from the beginning of photography there have been photographers of vegetables and flowers, but no other artist has ever looked at either quite the way DeCosse does or arranged them with such baroque flamboyance. DeCosse is a master at making some frozen moment ambered in photography's fixing gaze seem to be alive and vital with movement. Even his single, simple Onion is balletic in the grace of its gestures. Has anyone ever seen so elegant a piece of dried onion skin! The very idea of such an onion surprises us with the freshness of DeCosse's eye and approach. Or look at his Onion Flowers bending and undulating like dancers. His Radicchio Trevisano seems to be completing a gesture-just as a dancer might with her arms gracefully curved in front of her, one twisting over the other; the Fritillaria bends into a bow; his Sweet Peas are popping open; Fireworks are going off; the Rose Bouquet looks like an exploding star; and those masterpieces, the Queen of the Night and the King of the Night have burst not just into bloom but into booming, wondrous activity."
