Botanical Sculpture Workshop
Tickets to this event only include admission to the workshop. Please purchase tickets separately for General Admission and for the Special Exhibition.
Create your personalised botanical sculpture! Delve into the works of Yayoi Kusama and discover how they resonate with the forms of flowers and plants.
Nature is one of the key inspirations found in Kusama’s work, which often depict organic forms such as flowers, leaves, and plants. In this workshop, florist Cherie Yip will guide participants to observe Kusama’s use of colours, lines, and shapes and how they echo those found in nature. Using flowers and other material as medium, you will use different techniques and apply the basic concept of design to transform your observations and associations into a botanical sculpture.
Kusama once mentioned of her admiration for nature, ‘there are no objects more interesting than plants, filled with all kinds of forms and colors. How vast and boundless the provisions of nature!’ Appreciate and marvel at the unique forms and characteristics of your design and those of others!
