Floating in equilibrium
At the origin of this floating
creation is a beautifully shaped branch.
All the botanical materials, such as the branch, chamber pines, Amaryllis, Vanda, Anthurium, Clematis fluff as well as the metal sprite lines and leaves themselves determine the direction of this work that finds itself
between heaviness and breath. It is not
bound to ground or ceiling but
floating in balance. The in-between space
is also point of rest. There where light and
direction meet.
The tree
A very unusually shaped root base was selected as the base to which branches are attached chambered like real tree branches. Clematis fluff serves as natural decoration, reflecting in the glass globes. A number of metal leaf shapes enhance the whole, a single metal sprite points the height
up. This is a field creature at rest.
It recalls light returning, days lengthening,
of growth waiting in silence.
Giant Leaf
In a matte copper-green glazed vase, a large leaf of Tetrapanax is placed on a fakir bed. Across the leaf, like tiny spiders, wander fluff of Clematis; Sorbus berries have also been placed. Tendrils of Ampelopsis provide subtle movement.
Soft lint
An OASIS Bio heart is fully lined with the soft seed heads of Clematis Amazing Kibo. The seed heads dry very nicely. Fixed with spray glue, the cuddly texture remains beautiful for months. Two curved stems of Allium sphaerocephalon and inverted flowers of Clematis Amazing Miami draw elegant movement and show the beautiful underside of the flowers.
Two hearts in one
A heart of silver aluminum wire (2 mm) is given a soft, silver-gray skin v an Calocephalus brownii. It is secured by wrapping with silver bouillon wire. Inside, a second, intimate small heart shape is glued with fine flowers - a beautiful symbolism. Materials used: Chrysanthemum, Scabiosa, Tillandsia, lisianthus, Clematis Amazing Kibo, mini Phalaenopsis and leaves of Kalanchoe.
Glowing flower cushion
On a substantial bowl lies a low base of OASIS Renewal blocks. The sleek outer edge of short-stalked Limonium contrasts with the warm, glowing center full of Scabiosa. The transition is given nuance with Talinum 'Long John' and Sanguisorba. Buds and single open flowers of Clematis Amazing Tokyo are the quiet eye-catchers.
