Curated to draw focus to the idiosyncratic forms of succulents, 'An Ode To Endurance' is composed of notable species, alongside a conceptual vision of the arid landscape. As we dissect their distinct appearances, formed as a response to endure their harsh natural habitats, we consider how their origins inform the care regimen needed to help our plants thrive. A mix of slender and thick stems, chunky rootstocks, glaucous surfaces and spiky margins will be imposed on a backdrop of complimentary materials and rough textures, including natural wood, terracotta and stone. The exhibit will consist of a mix of neatly presented plants lining shelves and carefully placed in clusters around the living room inspired design, encouraging visitors to inspect the diverse forms and consider their place within our homes, in relation to their natural home. The exterior will lure you in with towering and rotund specimens, most of which enjoy being placed outdoors for the warmer months where they can truly thrive.
