A sea of flowers

       




Amazing and diverse world of plants and flowers. Gentle, fragrant, multi-colored, they can grow on bare rocks and in the sand, and swamp, decorating, earth, water, stones, asphalt and even concrete slabs. However, artificial plants can be equally stunning, especially if they had a hand of talented artists and sculptors. Such experimental installation of ceramic flowers and established Norwegian designers, giving it the name Flora Metamorphicae (Metamorphosis of vegetation).



The project began over 5 years ago in the form of small beds of hundreds of ceramic plants, and today it already has about 4 thousand colors. Contrary to expectations, the sculptors, Autumn brown, Lippa Dalen, Siri Haskell, björg ^ Adhil Rypdal, and Eli Vajm — not copied the original flowers, and the clay more plants, invented literally on the move. The only requirement for them is a wide stalk that is a "foot" pottery. Subsequently, all sculpted, kiln-fired and finished with a bright glaze flowers has participated in performances and exhibitions, transforming the halls, offices, yards, gardens and even basements in these seas, rivers and lakes of colors.





As the process of creating the flowers, putting some of the installations for project participants is always an improvisation, impromptu. Sculptors say that the flowers are "show" them what compositions should be created and in what scale. In General their experimental installations they perceive a game with space and form, and each time — unexpected. So, at one time they were decorated with ceramic flowers, parks and forest clearings, abandoned basements and buildings, and even in the shallow waters of the Norwegian rivers from time to time, there are flower arrangements from this creative team.
