FLORAL MOMENT

A moment we found beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Light pours through a window to illuminate a glass floral installation.

Photo by Janne Ford

“I call this sculpture my ‘Floral Portal,’ created from flowers and plant materials I foraged and dried from my garden and the countryside surrounding our home on the Welsh border. It’s a fanciful, ethereal interpretation of a stained glass window that invites you to appreciate the color and texture of the individual flowers, as well as to peer into the negative space leading to the landscape beyond. I believe it’s often the contrast of what’s not there that sets the imagination alight.” —Layla Robinson, Floral Designer
