Artists Adele Cameron and Michele England use flowers as a central subject to talk about seasonality and by extension sustainability and the environment. Flowers are fecund: they lure the eye and speak of promise. Blooms can be small, blousy, colourful or diminutive and tell a story of life’s possibility. They have intrinsic power to provide human connection in times of love, reunion, gratitude and grief. Do you ever wonder where flowers come from, how they arrive in our homes, where they are grown and under what conditions? The importation and exchange of plants is an interesting system and one that also interests two local creatives.
