The theme of the exhibition was 'Sculptural and Installation Ikebana'. No vases were used and all of the botanical material was dry.

 

Qdos 2012

In 2012 Graeme Wilkie created some small and radically different forms as well as larger works in the anagama kiln. My students and I created larger sculptural works and some smaller pieces. The latter mostly included some fresh material.
