ARTIST STATEMENT
Armour For Flowers is a video installation project that considers the unstable, entropic relationship between a mystical and a prosaic encountering of the world, through the lens of spectator sports. Three women, dressed as flowers, first encounter each other in an viscerally embodied way. As their encounter is retold, it degrades and becomes encoded into a ritualised performance of their original encounter. At the end of the cycle, the memory of their embodied interaction has become purely decorative.
