The Vas Florum series reinterprets the concept of the vessel and its relationship with flowers and their display. In each artwork, specially sourced flowers are embedded in the body of the form itself. Conceived as ‘time capsules’, each sculpture contains botanicals that resonate with individual and collective memories. Aere Involutum revisits and reinterprets the techniques and processes developed by Marcin Rusak Studio in the quest to preserve flowers and observe their transient lives. Enveloped in bronze, the flowers, including, among others, amaranthus, silver brunia, cock’s combs, carnations, echinops and sunflower, are first metallised with a layer of zinc, and then a layer of bronze, which is then meticulously polished to achieve an effect reminiscent of a cast bronze sculpture.
