Meadow Installation by the exquisitely talented Rebecca Louise Law for Arne Maynard | From Maynard: “A 'meadow' was conjured to hang upside down in the glass roof of a London mews studio...  It was a meadow of grasses from Wales (19,000 individually hand cut grasses that is), peppered with angelica and meadowsweet from Allt-y-bela and wonderful dahlias, asters,Echinacea purpurea and fennel from Shropshire (with thanks to Tammy Hall from wildbunchflowersfromthegarden.co.uk).

We worked with the remarkable artist Rebecca Louise Law, whose brilliant floral installation I had seen at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. She interpreted my vision for this event in a way that surprised and delighted me and the effect was of a hanging meadow, dipping and soaring in drifts around the roof space and then swooping dramatically down at one end nearly touching the floor. The flowers flowed through the grasses in groups of colour and type that merged or were held apart, (like the asters at the centre), adding a sense of rhythm and surprise as you walked beneath, gazing upwards, seeing the full head of the flowers as we rarely can in a border.”
