A home for 100 Tufts

A home for a 100 tufts at A G flowers (London 2009) commissioned by the Surgery Gallery, as a part of Nunhead Arts Week. This installation had 100 tufts flying behind the window of the florist, these resembled giant dandelion seeds made from artificial materials.


During the art week 18 September - 4 October, the tufts were given away to visitors, each contained mystery flower seeds. People who received the work were asked to leave their contact details so I could discover where the seeds were planted and what kind of flower they became.

42 tufts found their new home.

See the tufts journey map here.
