Circular

Sunflower stems, usually waste material, were given a second life in this work as a structural basis. Brought together and bent, they form an open, circular support in which form and function coincide.

Clematis 'Kansas', Astrantia, Gloriosa 'Fifty Shades', Talinum 'Long John', Mimosa, and rose 'Princess Aikto' are incorporated loosely and airily into this natural structure. Fine textures and playful shapes alternate to reinforce the organic character. The reuse of materials not only gives the work a distinctive look, but also a sustainable story. What was once discarded is now the foundation: an aesthetic and conscious choice.

High contrast

Faded grasses from the garden are tied into small bundles with fine bullion wire – for this arrangement, some 350 bundles have been inserted into a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. Centrally in this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes have been inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa ‘Mirandol’, small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’.
