Michael Hutter

Artist Statement
The work I dedicated to the Flowers of Life Project is based on my painting “The Citizens of Sodom Dance Around the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”. I think the closest I ever got to Paradise was while I was in the womb: a place without fear, pain and greed. I left this peaceful and innocent place through the gate of the vagina to enter a world which is far more reminiscent of hell than paradise. Still I hope to return to Paradise by crossing this gate again from the other side.
