The sculpture is directly inspired from nature and the iconic impacting form and structure of a bird of paradise plant popular in our homes. This is to give an appearance of an almost false nature appearance. Questioning our love of real plants and our created substitutes of plastic plants. Mimicking sculpture replicating a plant rather than trying to look exactly like a plant. Inspired by the concept of Alice in Wonderland painting the roses red. This piece will appear to have been started to be painted realistically and given colour and life, in an efforts to make the piece more realistic but never finished. The sculpture is created predominantly from my iconic signature sculpting medium. This Striking white represents a plant drained of all colour, symbolically chosen to represent flora bleaching how we have trained the planet of its natural resources. The very tips of the plant leaves painted with a touch of green as though the task of returning the plant to life and being healthy again was rushed and now forever unfinished. reflecting on the importance of time running out for climate change and the need to act to save our planet and nature now before it is also too late. A metaphor of the importance of time and taking action early when under pressure and time constraints. Like our time to act to complete helping the environment be healthy And not treating the environment crisis as though we have unlimited time. We’ve been told by top scientists that we do not have much time left to act, and time is of the essence. Your time’s is up, as an art piece which was made to Instill that same feeling of being told we must put your pens or paintbrush down unable to complete the task any further. Looking back at the job done and asking ourselves, are you happy with everything that you managed and achieved during that time, and asking others to view this work to do the same. I ask the viewer to think if they could do anything right now to help the environmental crisis rather than look back with regret at what they did not do when told it’s all too late and nothing more can be done even if you want to.
