Shannon works seasonally and locally, using British-grown flowers wherever possible. Her work responds to what’s around her by that shapes, textures, weather, wildlife.

For this piece, the starting point was a broken ceramic vase. “I was gutted when it broke,” she said, “but actually the clean break gave me a whole new shape to work with.” That became the structure. Everything else was built around it. The design pulls in the feeling of the British countryside wild, wind-shaped, slightly off-centre.

She didn’t buy anything new, she reused what she had. Which is exactly the point. Working this way isn’t about perfection. It’s about working with what you’ve got, trusting the materials, and letting the seasons lead.
