From humble beginnings this family owned and operated business began as a mere seed, many decades ago, when their family cultivated fresh flowers in the fertile soils on the outskirts of Melbourne.

Today the family passion for flowers remains, however, the business has evolved - now they travel the world bringing the very best nature has to offer in the form of permanent flowers, plants and trees. Spruce up your interiors with out the worry or expense of continually replacing dead foliage..

Baby Guerrilla is well known for street art throughout Melbourne. The artists work has been published in a number of street art books including “Land of Sunshine”

In the artists own words  . . . . “After graduating from VCA I was all set for life as a painter.  Street art began as a hobby on the side that seemed to take on a life of its own then grew and grew.  Now I see the two mediums as complimentary.  The possibilities for my drawings are infinite.

I see drawing on walls as a beautiful challenge… the challenge of space and constraints.  Defying gravity, dancing with gravity.  The love affair continues…”

Chrysalis was part of the Montalto Sculpture Prize and has recently been purchased by The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust and will soon be installed at the Fawkner Cemetery.

The work is intended to not only to reflect the transformations of the past, but also to draw attention to the continuing evolution of the present. The sculpture shows only one wing has emerged, the process halted before the revelation of its full. What exactly will it be? The unknown offers excitement, wonder and sometimes trepidation. A rebirth of sorts. A recognition of the care required to protect what is precious, until it is fully formed.

The work has been designed in response to the dynamic changes happening in my local neighbourhood. The thoughts underlying the sculpture is consideration for the delicate balance required between old and new. As with Chrysalis, the period of metamorphous is a delicate time. We need to manage this well and find a balance between the ‘new guard’ and the ‘old school’

Materials
