The Iris is a marshland plant yet it is most commonly known as a cultivated springtime flower today. Inspired by the land that the NOW Gallery sits on, once a wetland of tidal marshes previously known as ‘Bugsby’s’ and ‘Greenwich Marsh’,  this artwork is a celebration of the Iris, and a continued exploration into preservation and the use of flowers as a respected sculptural material. During the course of the exhibition, the flowers dry within the gallery space, allowing the viewer to observe the process and the artist’s exploration of ephemerality.
