Flower Bed, installation
14th Street Park, New York as part of Art in Odd Places 2011: Ritual

Flower Bed
'Flower Bed' is a photography-based art installation. It is made up of approximately 600 photographic prints of flowers, mounted back to back. Each set of prints are placed overlapping to make up a rectangular shape. The recreation of an artificial photography-based in a public space aims to surprise the viewer. It looks at the everyday action viewing of flowers / plant life in a public park over repeated visits.

The idea for the installation began with a piece I did at the Electric Picnic Festival in 2007: 1,000 Flowers‚
1,000 flower prints placed on to the bark surface of trees in a woodland area.

Flower Bed was previously installed as part of Sculpture in Context at National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin September 2009 and at: Celestial Salt, The Good Hatchery, Daingean, Co. Offaly. November/December 2009.
A selection of images from Flower Bed were exhibited at the 1st Alliance Francaise Photography Award Exhibition April/May 2011

The installation was exhibited at the Art in Odd Places Festival on 14th Street New York, October 2011.
