Sunflower Wishes...Using the symbol of the Sunflower, worn on lanyards by people with disabilities that can be unseen, we drew and wrote on petals what our ambitions and wished were for the future, mostly on seeded paper so that in the Spring of 2023 the wishes can be grown and come to life. The central part of the sunflower holds names of wishers and wishes that the wanted for themselves or others as children. Seedling to flower.
This was a regenerative workshop, thinking in terms of reusing and growing the materials used for the art, inspired by ono of the missions set out by the RSA in regenerative practice.
Daphne the Llama was made from cardboard and white paper that was left over from some packaging. I drew the designs freehand with a sharpie onto the surface ready for colouring and various pompoms and paper flowers have been added for the exhibition.
All the groups contributing to the design of the festival wanted a Llama involved. So rather than ask a real Llama to be involved I built Daphne.
