Original artwork description:

I have always loved daisies and as a child I used to make endless daisy chains, so I feel they make a wonderful choice for an artwork.

They symbolise childhood innocence, purity, simplicity and joy, and in Old English, daisies were referred to as “day’s eye” because at night the petals close over the centres and during the day they re-open.

The phrase “as fresh as a daisy” originated from this, signifying that someone had a good night’s rest.

The individually moulded polymer clay daisies and dome are attached to the backing with a foam board mount.

Materials used:

Polymer clay and foam board and in a deep box frame glazed with glass
