This flower style design is one of the series of "Understorey" producted by Fiona Hall. " 'Understorey' is an exuberant yet shocking account of the inter-relationships of life and death. The work contrasts two views of the tropical environment: the eighteenth and nineteenth century European notion of the equatorial forest, or 'jungle', as a site of luxuriance/fecundity/adventure (and also zealous hunting for plant and animal specimens); and the contemporary reality of on-going civil unrest and the displacement of people from traditional territories due to land clearance, urbanisation and the political after-effects of colonisation/ The work depicts elements of plant and human material, using a variety of media, though predominantly glass beads, the currency of colonisation. It includes a number of three-dimensional objects made entirely from minute glass beads threaded onto wire. A recurring motif is the use of camouflage patterning – a symbol of our time that transforms the patterns of nature into the fabric of conflict and hostility. Understorey brings together fragments of a beautiful, fragile, transient realm, and in the way of science, traps them in the filing system (morgue) of the museum display cabinet."
(Fiona Hall quoted in Julie Ewington, Fiona Hall, Piper Press, p. 163)
The action of blooming that I chose is to describe his work is because the colors he used. This work is consist of glass beads, silver wire and vitrina. He used these materials so often in lots of his productions. He used silver wire to set the structure up then inlaid on the little pieces of ornaments.

This production by Rosalie Gascoigne is called "Full Fathom Five". Most of the square pieces have five holes on them, a big one with four smaller ones around. I think that they look like dog footprints so much. The artist's idea might come from the Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". "Full Fathom Five" are the first three words of a famous sing in it.
The product was made of sawn wood on wood. The main concept of Gascoigne's work is to cut things up and rearrange them in a random order to create some abstract images through these grids.
