Metafleur (sustainable large-scale flowers company led by Alice) is thrilled to be part of Trace; an exhibition and events programme curated for The Chelsea Fringe in collaboration with specialist craft gallery Thrown Contemporary and OmVed Gardens.
For this fourth collaboration Metafleur will be working exclusively with materials found onsite to bind the exhibition contents and Omved gardens further in exhibition Trace. This curated exhibition of 12 distinctive collections aims to explore the marks we make, physical imprints and expressive gestures alongside thoughts about heritage, influence and our ecological footprint.
As part of the exhibition there was a workshop with Alice looking and tracing garden and exhibition content via small floral interventions using only three natural pieces of material found onsite.
Recreational Grounds was founded by Tim Ralston and Fiona Grady and joined by Anna Lytridou in 2019.
Recreational grounds is a reaction to the issues of limits and accessibility of the more typical exhibition spaces in London, with an aim to encourage experimentation and create a dialogue around the alternative presentation of artwork. The project encourages ephemeral approaches to react to the restrictions of creating outdoor site-responsive work for the 48hr exhibition.
For this piece, I loosely moulded an ear shape, filling it with re-purposed artichoke flowers; tying and painting them into the structure. Designed from a pun on the phrase Woz ere and the traces of the city and peoples’ actions within it, this piece is made from locally grown materials and was walked through Burgess park to the exhibition space for further encounters with the neighbourhood context and location of the building.
Delighted to take part in this all female exhibition Side Step curated by Anna Lytridou. This exhibition brings together works by artists whose practices do not fall squarely into one type of art making bracket.
I was delighted to exhibit Rake #3. One of an ongoing series of collaged paintings pairing world leaders with garden rakes - the research and raking continues. This rake featurs the Queen.
Delightful evening with Livia Rita and the Avant Gardeners - wild card - at Sadlers Wells.
I created three pairs of blooming displays within Livia’s shoes. It was wonderful to see them inaction and leave heart buouyant after a night of her creatures, all stomping out gleeful.
