【statement】
It is said that flowers have a weaker ability to produce blue pigments than other colors, and the blue flowers we see today are, strictly speaking, lapis lazuli (purple) with a hint of red mixed in.
This exhibition was held in February this year at "Now/Then"
This new form was created by dismantling and reconstructing flowers that had been dried at the venue during the event.
The sequel, "Now/Then, longing for blue," will be exhibited.
The beginning of flowers,
This work also evokes the beginning of a new way of expression for Shinozaki Megumi.
