A year ago this week, we were deep in the build at Chelsea, working alongside neighbours we admired enormouslyโ , and among themโeach booth slowly becoming its own strange universe over the course of the week.
Tabula Rosa was our contribution to that conversation. A tropical landscape that sat somewhere between seduction and unease.
What feels especially striking looking back is how differently everyone approached the language of flowers, and how much space there still was for those differences to coexist side by side.
As this yearโs show comes to a close today, we wanted to share a few works we especially enjoyed following from afarโWagner and Fridaโs continued openness and experimentation, โs wonderfully eccentric installation at Museum of Curiosities, and the many flower friends whose generosity, curiosity and distinct ways of seeing continue to make this world feel expansive and alive.
Part of what continues to make Chelsea interesting to us is the way it can still accommodate very different ideas about what flowers are for, and what they might be capable of expressing.
