Cécile Daladier’s vases, which she calls Pique-Fleurs, are a departure from standard vases for big bunches of flowers. She prefers to give individual flowers more attention. Her previous career as a musician perhaps helps to give the arrangements some rhythm. 

Flow Gallery in collaboration with Somerset Art Works and with the support of The Arts Council grants arranged two residencies of one week for artists who work in urban environments yet whose work is deeply influenced by gardens and meadows.
Forde Abbey owners very kindly provided a perfect environment with its magnificent gardens and a grand house ( originally a Cistercian Abbey) full of history.  It was to be a retreat from city life, time out to experiment and draw and write.
