Bloomed: Poppy
Like no other flower, the poppy has played a unique role in religion, mythology, politics and medicine. Growing best in a natural environment, scarlet poppies are in full bloom in late spring. One of the first wildflowers to colonise cornfields, it pollinated the battle zones of the First World War and has since become the flower of remembrance.The red poppy, which has such emotional connotations, is represented within the artwork as a highly personified version of its true self. Playful and charismatic, the poppy responds amusingly to the viewer's observation and interaction. At times a second poppy will appear and flourish, eventually getting itself into a contorted state. Larger movements of the viewer may cause the poppy petals to fall from the flower; only to be brought back through a new blooming.
