Floating-flower displays at Chanticleer
During volunteer horticulture work at Chanticleer Gardens, Matthew selected flowers from throughout the garden and combined them with other materials to create floating-flower displays.
Color, shape, and texture carried the compositions across the water. One oval display became a 500-piece puzzle sold at Chanticleer.
