Glastonbury Festival Commission: Love is Always There 2023 + 2024

2024

Textile

Superbloom

A participatory installation around the festival, even so far as inside artist Dressing Rooms

Project for the benefit of refugees including artwork handed out for free, composed of handmade crochet elements made by the ladies of Makani, an organisation that empowers and supports women refugees in the Lebanon.

The flowers represented the spirt of Glastonbury Festival:

Dandelions: hope, healing and resilience

Wheat: abundance, the cycle of life

Cornflowers: hope

Lady’s Bedstraw: reference to camping. This used to be dried and stuffed into mattresses

Clerodendrum: music

Poppies: fertility and remembrance

Daisies: childhood joy, medicine for small cuts and bruises

Lilies of the valley: purity, love, joy, sincerity and music
