Winter Flowers 2005-2007

...for when Spring is too long away to wait.

A 'make your own "Spring" kit'. A wooden box which opens to reveal a row of aluminium flowers, a row of clamps and a number of tools and 'detonation cables'. The flowers when closed appear to be cold and mechanical objects, but on removing a thorn from the stem, explode open to reveal a vibrant and rich raw silk interior.
