Flowers of English Gardens - Children's Illustrations
Creating an environment in which the flowers of English Gardens can be explored, this installation and accompanying concertina book teaches children about a collection of 5 species of flowers that they may find in their own gardens and local parks. With textual narratives providing historical context and floral folklore, these pieces are both educational and visually exciting. The addition of featured lighting focused at the laser cut flowers creates a dimension of shadow projection and helps to bring the English flowers to life.
The shadow photography book showcases the range of beautiful shadows that can be created when light is simply reflected onto the laser cut flower designs. Combined with the mini flower stories, an English floral journey can be taken both physically and through reading. Take the time to enjoy journeying through this imaginative English garden and appreciating nature at its most intricate form.
