[ Homo Faber 2024]

Whispers - my piece for Homo Faber 2024, with work in progress photos

I was delighted to be asked by the Michelangelo Foundation to create a new piece for the “Love” room at Homo Faber: The Journey of Life, the biennial exhibition held in Venice in September 2024. “Whispers” is a graceful depiction of doves amidst foliage, crafted from an array of dried flowers, grasses and seedheads including feathergrass, statice, limonium and flax. Its natural palette and real organic textures evoke the serene whispers of nature in a moment of tranquility. While the two birds denote a loving relationship, as with all my work love and care for nature is also an underlying message.
