FUCK OFF WINTER

FUCK OFF WINTER

After another year of toughing out the pandemic and a grinding Winter comes to an end, there’s never been a more important time to celebrate the arrival of brighter days ahead.

DEAR WINTER x Living Sculpture

At a time when the world seems to be in a state of flux and things can feel a bit shit — we’re ready to relish in Springtime. The special light, the smell of the flowers and the warmth of the sun on our skin. The first day of Spring is a sign of rebirth and a time of tradition. A perfect balance between day and night — and the ray of hope we could all really use right now.

Uncommon is a creative studio making art, film, images, and brands that people in the real world are glad exists. This sculpture represents their first solo exhibit in the art world — the first in a series of many uncommissioned works.

Uncommon teamed up with Urban Flower Co to bring the idea of ‘DEAR WINTER’ to life. Urban Flower Co is an independent creative studio founded by botanical artist Matt Richardson. Using flowers and plants as their art form, they style and create living art installations to engage, immerse and connect people to nature.

Each flower was selected by Urban Flower Co with purpose, curating the sculpture by hand to best visualise an explosion of Spring. The piece uses distinct pink, purple and green colours blended with bold, soft and coarse textures to define the middle finger shape.
