The canopy
Exhibited: June 2016 - Permanent
Location: Eastland, Melbourne, Australia
A permanent large scale installation in the vaulted ceiling of Eastland Shopping Centre, Melbourne.
When designing The Canopy, Law used the local environment for inspiration, with all flowers sourced within Australia, including seasonal flowers from the neighbouring Yarra Valley region.
“I was free to paint with flowers on a scale that I am truly comfortable. The ceiling became my canvas. I feel that the work is pioneering, in terms of how flowers are portrayed and used as a material. The intention for my works is for people to take a moment to be brought out of themselves and The Canopy is no exception”
