Rocks Lake Vase

  • Annabelle Macleod

The geometric and geomorphic base holds flowers, with a mirror reflecting the natural contents highlighting them as they go through their natural process towards decay. Much like the foundations of our earth in which the rocks are formed, it is host to a cycle of growth, an ode to a process that we as humans are so intricately related to. Bringing flowers into the home is one of the many ways in which we try to maintain our innate connection to nature, they elicit a sensory and emotional stimulus releasing chemicals like dopamine within our brain. A response that is also present towards manmade form and the application of natural features within our built environment and begins to channel ideas around constructional law and concepts of biophilia, and is formed using a combination of moulding processes and 3D scans of natural sandstone formations found in Sussex. Material: Jesmonite, sand and stone.
