Circle of Life
In this creation, a willow circle is the support for a special combination of botanical materials: chamber pines, Vanda, Amaryllis, Clematis fluff, lilies, Leucospermum, Calathea and Rhipsalis. Metal sprite lines and self-created metal leaves help direct the creation. A work that listens to space. The circle catches the light as the field catches the sun. Christmas as a return of life that never completely disappeared.
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.
Dance of nature
The base consists of a thin metal rod, wrapped in rubber, from which a braided structure of willow branches gracefully curves downwards. This arrangement plays with negative space and balance, emphasizing the natural dynamics of the materials. The floral arrangement is powerful and expressive. Fritillaria imperialis sits enthroned at the top like a fiery (emperor's) crown, while chrysanthemums and Pieris enrich the composition with subtle layering. Floating Eucalyptus fruits and Asparagus enhance the sense of movement and lightness.
Natural spiral
The base of this sculptural arrangement is a handmade vase, carefully constructed from scraps of wooden slats wrapped in clay. This has a robust, earthy appearance and emphasizes the sustainable nature of the design. A spiral of braided grasses and natural fibers is wrapped around the vase, embracing the floral composition in a flowing movement. A special detail is the iron points on the outside of the piece. These marking points emphasize important structural lines and create rhythm and movement within the design. Thin, curved branches and airy Asparagus foliage enhance the vertical dynamics. Lilies, chrysanthemums, and Anigozanthos provide a warm color balance.
Emerging power
In this sculptural arrangement, nature and structure converge in an upward movement and balance. The base consists of a weathered tree trunk, a symbol of transience and renewed growth. From this rise thin branches like an abstract forest. Wrapped iron wire elements reinforce the direction and tension of the arrangement. Fritillaria imperialis forms an impressive focal point, while Anigozanthos, Pieris, Asparagus plumosus, lilies, and a single French Tulipa add playfulness and elegance. The dynamic lines and airy placement of the materials also make the robust composition refined; an embodiment of the resilience of nature.
