See Us At Chelsea Flower Show 2024
Our Design;- Natures Botanical Palette
The design is an ambitious interpretation of the glorious array of colours to be found in the botanical world. The humble tree represents nature and the Sarah Horne Academy team will create this tree as a magnificent everlasting sculpture using coloured wire, twigs mossed rope and wax all formed around a commissioned metal frame which will provide the strong core needed to sustain the structure and its botanical material. The main emphasis of this piece is of course the glorious array of flowers and plants which our planet affords us.
The wires of the framework will subtly change from tone to tone, hue to hue. The sculpture will show several creative techniques and be a starting point to guide the viewers eye calmly through the wonderful array of coloured flowers used in this showcase. The piece is of course foam free, the flowers will be arranged in water filled handmade wax bowls created with integrated spikes to hold all materials in place. There will also be planted areas for relief.
The technical challenge of bringing all of these amazing flowers and colours together in one design will be addressed using the Japanese colour methodology of ‘natural harmony’.Taking tiny steps in tint, tone hue and shade this design will create an uplifting and inspiring showcase of Natures Botanical Palette.
Sustainability is of course important , where possible the wires used are recycled and the structure will last as a sculpture for many years. Locally grown flowers from Gentle Blooms, a local grower, will be used where possible and we have a fabulous local nursery for succulents and willows. As this piece is designed to showcase blooms from around the planet we will be sourcing the remainder of our flowers through our Dutch supplier, they will arrive on our regular weekly delivery. The fresh material will of course predominate over the framework when the work is complete.
