The wild and luridly rendered "Pulling Weeds From a Cactus Garden" reflects the dark side of human interaction and alienation. Just like the act of pulling weeds from a cactus garden, it's tricky, and you can't do it without getting hurt. These tales of hazard deliver beauty and humor from otherwise dark situations. The result - visual allegories more easily digested than the circus of life around us.
Woven into these tales is a revisitation of several Aesop Fables, stories that provide insight into surviving in a world where the cards are stacked against you. Like Aesop's fables, these stories use symbolism not only to illustrate but define vices.
Themes of alienation, struggle between our inner worlds, expectations of reality are the center of these thorny tales. Characters in the book represent threats in a dystopian world. They are symbolic tropes, in confrontation with themselves or those around them.
