About the artwork
Flower Power emerges from an observation of my studio%u2019s immediate environment, where a garden of swaying, spring tulips became both subject and collaborator. Rooted in the side-to-side motion of these flowers in the wind, Flower Power speculates a ridiculous device to preserve the tulips at their peak bloom while maintaining this motion. Central to my practice is an ongoing interest in found objects and a playful interrogation of functionality vs the nonsensical. Flower Power extends this enquiry by incorporating the visual language of utilitarian materials. Make-shift flexi pipe hosing is recontextualised as kinetic apparatus, overplaying a dramatised side-to-side movement in an attempt to mimic their gentle rocking motion. It's unclear whether electrical power is being pulled from the wall switch or the tulips themselves. Flower Power occupies a space where functionality slips into fiction, and where the act of preservation becomes both a sincere gesture and a playful proposition
