While it might be nicer on a sunny day, if the skies clear take a trip to Somerset House this weekend for a large scale installation piece: thousands of clay daffodils hinting at spring.
From Somerset house “TheLondon based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere’s large scale courtyard installation recreates the joy we feel at the site of blossoming daffodils signalling the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 10,000 ceramic daffodils, placed in a naturalistic setting within The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, will remind us of the wonder and accuracy of nature’s clock, against the backdrop of an ever changing environment. Since 1991 Casasempere has been working with clay that is a by-product from industrial processes.”
