New photos were just sent to me by the team behind Rebecca Louise Law’s latest flower installation. I told you about this upside down garden a few days ago, when I showed you pictures by “first-to-the-scene” Instagrammers. Visit the Chandran Gallery to see this impressive work, called The Beauty of Decay, a site-specific installation of 8,000 flowers that gradually change and preserve throughout the duration of the exhibition. You can actually walk through it from now till August 4th.
The Beauty of Decay is the first opportunity for visitors in the US to experience her work in a gallery setting. The 8,000 flowers are entwined with copper and descend from 20 foot ceilings. The hovering flowers gradually change over time. They move through the natural stages of decay – wilting, fading and drying. As the press release states, “By taking viewers on this journey of deterioration, Law extends the perceived limitation of the beauty of flowers, and imbues them with artistic value elevating them from merely decorative items.” Just gorgeous!
