THE PROMENADE
PLASTER AND WATERCOLOUR
Rachel Dein
Artist Rachel Dein brings the English garden
indoors with this commissioned plaster work.
Exactly replicating British botanicals through a
meticulous casting process that uses real flowers,
she preserves the textures, patterns and delicacies
of each plant in exquisite detail.
The fleeting moment of growth – tight buds,
delicate petals, slim tendrils reaching upwards –
is granted a new life in perpetuity, the transience
of nature carefully preserved and transformed
into art.
