Dining Room Pantry
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Taking inspiration from the location of my installation (the pantry), where dishes would be finished before being served to guests in the adjoining dining room, I imagined a large floral piece designed directly on the floor of the room, giving the feeling that it has sprouted from the ground, up, and working with a variety of culinary herbs and botanicals providing a fragrant arrangement inspired by the kitchen.
Recipe: Eucalyptus, bay foliage, rosemary, thyme, mint, olive foliage, rice flower, allium flowers, wheat, chamomile flower, lavender , queen anne's lace, scabiosa, brassica, quince branches
