With Pop Art and Sgt Pepper as a reference, Trippy Blooms are a series of showy, stylised flower sculptures, produced in two sizes. Their colours are deliberately dreamy, the unreal hues chosen to please the viewer.
The work is a contemporary response to open spaces, gardens and flowers. Because of their scale, the Blooms make a positive gesture and enjoy the paradox of being real yet unreal. The inspiration came from walking in a now genteel park, whilst acknowledging that once that space had been a seedy ‘pleasure garden’, with many hallucinogens on offer.
The Blooms are designed to look good in groups of mixed or single colours, and in combination of big and small or the same size. They are made in three colour combinations: Rhubarb and Custard, Snowy White and Oranges and Lemons. The petal combinations are deep pink, white, or jaffa orange and all have pale yellow edges. The Blooms have green leaves, edged with darker green and dark green stems. The back of each Bloom is leaf green. The centre stamens are all deep blue.
The Blooms are made from aluminium, hand painted using weatherproof paint. They show the makers brush strokes and, while intended for indoors or outdoors, the paint will chip if roughly handled.
Trippy Blooms may also be purchased singly. Please enquire if you would like to commission another colour.
