God is weird. The meaning of ‘weird’ is 'spiritual'; to indicate something supernatural, uncanny, unearthly, strange. God has an element of strangeness. A relative term, ‘strange’, a construct that requires a context of the ‘normal’. God’s being is eccentric to normal, to our idea of normal. These painted flowers emerge from a rigidly patterned surface. They erupt, or obtrude, surprisingly, maybe even with an element of unwelcomeness. They resemble flowers enough to be recognised as such, but not enough to substituted for real flowers. If one were to see these painted forms growing in the garden, they would certainly be strange. Their painted quality keeps them in the realm of painting, which is a space that is often weird and uncanny.
