A chromatic metal work for Frieze
Colourising a Lupine Tower sculpture
It was precisely the observation of colours the moment that Quinze's wildflower garden started to show the first signs of impermanence in autumn that led to the creation of this Lupine Tower. Lupine flowers exchange their petals for small bells of seeds and turn slightly yellowish brown. The beauty of decay has been admired and studied for centuries in Japan. With an emotion of gentle sadness, they embrace the beauty that nature radiates during decay. They called it 'Mono No Aware'.
