I visited 'Art In Bloom' a fantastic yearly event that lasts just a weekend, organised by the Friends of the Art Gallery of WA. All sorts of people from artists and floral designers to students and media personalities are invited to respond to an artwork from the state collection by creating a floral installation. I have never seen the gallery bustling with so many people, a really great way to get the public into the gallery.
I sneeked a few photos, sorry about the quality. I loved this installation by Amelia Dempster of
Poppy's Flowers. A series of glass bowls bursting with amazing textural combinations of flowers, bark strips and burnt Banksia seed cones reflected a bush landcape painting.
After wards we went along to demonstration by one of Perth's best floral artists
Rebecca Grace which was fun.
A great day of floral inspiration was had!

Hello! I have just narrowly avoided collapse-by-beauty-overload while browsing the entire contents of Sepal and Twig, which I plan to do again on a day I have more time to peruse more thoroughly. I'd never managed to navigate to your blog before (I often have technical difficulties with blogging; I still feel new to it even though it's been a little while). But anyways, I'm so glad I finally found this lovely forum and am looking forward to seeing more from you soon!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
