Black Efflorescence II is a unique hand-sculpted stoneware sculpture completely covered in a variety of flowers and blooms, each individually handmade by the British artist Vanessa Hogge.
Grounded by years of expertise in ceramics, Hogge takes an instinctive, visceral approach to each piece, painstakingly sculpting every petal and anther by hand so that no two flowers are identical. Her creations are organic and ornate, stylised and purposeful but with an element of spontaneity.
Variations and commissions are also possible, from immortalising a single favourite flower, creating still life groupings to architectural installations created with a collection of the artist's iconic wall flowers.
