Powerful simplicity
On a light frame, a visually strong rhythm is created by the reappearance of three types of fresh materials: Allium siculum between tufts of Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Blondie' and pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana). The culms are fixed with cold glue. The shadow play emphasizes the tight formal language.
Dialogue
A round panel is covered with satin silk printed with leaves and flowers via the ecoprint technique. Around the panel is floral work that reflects the print to create a dialogue between textiles and flowers and greenery. The materials, including Eryngium, dried Ammi majus, Asparagus falcatus 'Wild', Rosa polyantha and rosehip, match the mood of the print. Natural, sophisticated and layered.
Imprint in clay
Fresh flowers and leaves are pressed into clay; the negatives are cast in plaster into refined reliefs. The transience of autumn tangibly captured in form and texture.
Green embraced
An airy heart-shaped wire frame in the 'crush' technique forms the base, wrapped all around with finely feathered Asparagus setaceus 'Plumosus' and secured with green bouillon wire. Injected with glue, the foliage remains nicely intact. Two compact flowers of Phalaenopsis bring light and focus to the green center.
Berry heart in simplicity
A small simple heart with a skin of tightly pinned Hypericum berries on a red heart-shaped Styrofoam base. The drying value causes the berries to darken, shrinking slightly, allowing the subtle red of the base to shine through later. A single Gloriosa sets a graceful line - the art of omission applies here.
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.
