ephemeral seed pod sculptures

If you haven’t seen the breathtaking sculptures of Andy Goldsworthy you must do now. His work is so beautiful, fragile, strong, soft, hard. Its so inspirational that I had to go in my studio to have a play with some kowhai and harakeke (NZ flax) seed pods. I made them for the moment to enjoy and to give them back to the bush afterward.Kowhai seed pods sculpture by Birgit Moffatt Kowhai seed pods sculpture by Birgit Moffatt Kowhai seed pods sculpture by Birgit Moffatt

I was very pleased with my little seed pods sculptures, making them was also very calming and relaxing.Harakeke flax seed pods sculpture by Birgit Moffatt Harakeke flax seed pods sculpture by Birgit Moffatt

    Kia ora sister .. tumeke .. I just love the idea of these arrangements as a way to take a fresh look at something it is easy to take for granted. I can’t wait to gather up a collection and add them to our natural materials at kindergarten. thanks.
