LEAVES OF A ROSEGARDEN
The project is inspired by a visit to the fabric-flora factory M & S Schmalberg at Manhatten in New York City, “New York’s home for artificial flowers for over 100 years”. This factory still does fabrics flowers by hand, which adds a tactile imprint to the artificial eternity of these ‘nature morte’ flowers.
Different roses like the Green Viridiflora Rose, the yellow roses Sunsprite and Sunsprinkle and the apricot-tinged pink Wildeve have been crystallized and turned into essential fractals growing outwards from the wall or growing up from the floor.
