Thank you so much to the for asking me to be part of this year’s incredible Winter Flowers Week exhibition which opens today. It is such a huge honour. The inspiration for my piece is the Ice Hall from the illustrious “Winter Story” ~ a firm childhood favourite and a story that I hope will resonate with many others too!
In the book, the hall is both spectacle and sanctuary; a hand-carved cathedral of ice, where light fractures into twinkling brilliance and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Through this recreation of the scene, the aim is to translate the Ice Hall’s magic in floral form; creating a romantic, contemplative space where light, texture, and nostalgia for this wonderful story transform Winter’s offering into something luminous and tender.
With heartfelt thanks to these very generous growers for providing the most exquisite, entirely British grown produce and ingredients used to create our installation ~ ~ And to my amazing team for pouring your heart and souls into this project with me and for working so hard, thank you.
There is so much more to say about our creation, but I would encourage you all to go and see it if you can, as well as the other beautiful pieces also part of this year’s showcase ~
Open until Monday 1st December 💫
