Flowers for peace 

‘The idea for “Make a flower for peace with me” arose after the exhibition at the Marble Church. The idea was, and is, to go into the world, set up my table – perhaps in front of a church or a cathedral or places where people of power and influence come. My dream is to cut a flower together with a head of state. I have been to Milan, Paris and London. It’s a philanthropic project, so I have to combine it with trips I would be taking anyway. It has proven a little challenging, because even though the purpose is peaceful, you’re not allowed to just set up a table in the public space without a permit. In Milan, the police grabbed me by the collar, but I will continue my journey with this set-up.’

Let me introduce my personal and professional background, based on many years of work – initially as a craft maker, later as a fashion designer – and my motivation for publishing about crafts, design, architecture, food and fashion. In photos and text, I cover the people practising these occupations and the resources involved in their processes – including both human resources and what we used to call materials.

In the current exhibition, Marie Holst addresses the microcosm of the garden in works that are beautiful at first glance but prove both thought-provoking and disturbing upon closer inspection. Hopefully, her pieces will spark reflection and inspire both a new understanding and a change in behaviour.
