Crafts CouncilDirectoryMichèle OberdieckFantasy Plant ProjectAbout‘Fantasy Plants’ specifically created to be exhibited as part of Collect Open, is an ongoing project. I produced an installation of imagined plants and vegetation intended to question the effects of climate change on our environment, food security and public perception of science in society. Speaking to various plant science research centres as well as studying extinct and newly discovered plants at the Herbarium in Kew Gardens, I created new abstracted forms blown from hot glass.Michèle OberdieckLondon, EnglandHedeoma, Photo: Sylvain DeleuBlown glass sculptureKokia with Distraction Bowl, Photo: Sylvain Deleublown glass scuptureGolden Hibiscus with Hedeoma, Photo: Sylvain Deleublown glass scupture with Graal vesselBlue Distraction Bowl with Oak Laurel, Photo: Sylvain DeleuBlown glass vessel with plant sculptureTulip Graal with Blossom Branch, Photo: Sylvain DeleuBlown glass vessel with hot sculpted plant branchDistraction Vessel with double La Jeunesse branches, Photo: Sylvain DeleuHot sculpted glass Branches with blown glass VesselsKokia, Photo: Sylvain Deleublown glass scuptureLa Jeunesse, Photo: Sylvain Deleublown glass scuptureHaar Fleur Morphism, Photo: Sylvain Deleublown glass scupture with vesselBlossom Branch with 3 Graal Vessels, Photo: Sylvain DeleuBlown glass Graal vessels with sculpted plant branchCollect Open Space, Photo: Iona WolfHot sculpted glass branches with Graal VesselsFantasy Plant ProjectAbout‘Fantasy Plants’ specifically created to be exhibited as part of Collect Open, is an ongoing project.
