Bloomed is Dominic Harris' study of plants, with which onlookers may subtly interact. Playing on the nature of classical still life, small movements enliven the flowers, causing them to flourish as observers pass by. Meticulously recreated through computer animations, each flower encapsulates the romanticised surrealness synonymous with Harris' works.
With a genus of approximately 100 species of flowering plants which are native to southern and eastern Asia, and north and south America, hydrangeas are a popular flowering shrub found in gardens worldwide. Carried in bunches at the ends of the stems, the hydrangea's flowers are relatively small, however their display of colour is enhanced by a ring of modified bracts around each magnificent bloom.
