This artist creates striking installations of natural and artificial flowers in the form of inverted gardens. Impressive work craftswomen delight the eye and, of course, become a bright and desirable decoration at various exhibitions, educational institutions and private residences. However, the artist's last work, a cascade of eight thousand paper poppies, was not created for amusement or decoration.
Since 1921, in many English-speaking countries, red poppies have become a kind of commemorative signs, which are usually fixed in the buttonhole on November 11 - the day of commemoration of those killed on the fronts of the First and Second World Wars. This day also has an unofficial name - Poppy Day … The fact is that wild poppies have an amazing feature - they are the only flowers that can grow when everything is dead.
Installation Rebecca Louise Law is a kind of corridor made of red flowers of Memory sewn together, which symbolically brings the viewer to a memorial plaque with a poem by a military surgeon John McCrae "In Flanders Fields" … He wrote it on May 3, 1915, the morning after the death of a close friend.
Artist Rebecca Lewis Lo works mainly with natural materials. The main theme of the artist's work is the interaction of nature and man. She is also interested in the phenomena of the physical world, the creative rethinking of these phenomena by artists, the beauty of nature and, of course, the world of flowers. Over the past seventeen years, Law's work has been exhibited several times in the UK, as well as in many European countries.
In Great Britain, in memory of the victims of the First World War, artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper "Dropped off" around the Tower of the Tower thousands of ceramic poppies … The authors named the installation Blood swept lands and seas of red, which can be translated as: "The blood stained the land and the sea."
