One of the installations that I wanted to see since reading about the hand made poppies was '
From War to Remembrance' created by Hamish and Samantha from Smash Creations, each poppy and grass blade was individually crafted and if you pull in the second shot close enough you can just make out the words that originate from the
Ode of Remembrance, what patience! On display in the foyer of the
State Library this exhibition focuses on the history of the
RSL in WA and it's role in the community and will be there until the end of June. The three points of the poppy represent reflection, movement and formation and just in case you get the yen to make a poppy of your own
here's how. Hope your week is going well, happy Wednesday take care and stay safe.....
It's a beautiful tribute! I can't help thinking of the Kenzo's advertising..
ReplyDeleteI like the first shot, makes me wonder where is the reality?
ReplyDeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteLove your first photo. The colors and reflections are fantastic.
What a lovely way to remember, and wonderful captures! Love the reflections in the top and perspective in the bottom. I didn't realize the pretty poppies were so easy to make, I must try it despite my many thumbs:)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful art installation! Like Malyss, I also thought about Kenzo's perfume advertising.:)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are also very artistic, I love the reflections in your first composition!
* got an awful cold these days, it's time to take a shower, some chicken soup and go to bed!

Funny, creative and eye catching, but I am always suspicious when an alleged work of art needs a long explanation...
ReplyDeletePerth = Art. Grace = Friend :-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative. This must have taken a very long time to complete.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive display. Pity it can't be permanent somewhere.
ReplyDeleteImpressive modern art.

That's wonderful. Poppies are my favourite flowers and of course, they do mean remembering the fallen...

I like both shots, Grace. A very powerful exhibit!

ReplyDeleteI clicked on your link. Fascinating debate about condemn/contemn. Once the word is singled out for contemplation, I realize that I don't really know what the phrase was intended to convey.
Wonderful captures for the day and a powerful exhibit indeed! Hope you're having a great week!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I like the reflection in the first shot.
