‘The career of flowers differs from ours only in inaudibleness’ Emily Dickinson Inspired by the 18th century artist Mary Delany’s exquisite botanical paper collages (her self-named Flora Delanica), Flora Dislocata presents constructed floral portraiture removed from both habitat and context, appearing to float, displaced and disconnected. Highlighting the rich albeit transient colours of natural forms against an atmosphere of absence, this work reflects upon both the beauty of impermanence and the universal themes of isolation and dislocation that pervade human existence, not least in these uncertain times.
