Turning garden waste into monumental urban art installations
In short: Discover how floral designers Wona Bae and Charlie Lawler transform overlooked botanical remains into immersive sculptures. This video explores their 12-year creative journey of blending fashion, permaculture, and large-scale public art.
To construct 'Post Bloom' artworks, Lawler and Bae employ various organic elements, including dehydrated bananas, dried proteas, and agapanthus and allium seed heads. These pieces are meticulously developed in their Collingwood studio over an 18-month period to achieve specific textures and scale.
The duo also produces 'Hover Wreaths,' which are giant sculptural installations designed for urban environments. These works are intended to be interactive, encouraging the public to engage physically with the art by posing for photos or moving through the structures.
