Floral installations are like a big floral construction project, and an important component of event decor. They can be used as a statement piece to set a mood, highlight an architectural feature, compliment cool art or furnishings or just be a WOW!
The Gifford’s Crew recently had the distinction and honor to create installations in collaboration with a touring popup art exhibit. BANKSYLAND is a multimedia art experience containing more than 100 authenticated works and never before seen installations examining cultural impact of the mysterious and culturally significant artist Banksy.
The creators of Banksyland provided a vision. Laura turned their vision into reality designing two prominent floral art installations.
The first piece, mounted on the famous Banksy Flower Thrower: a tornadic bouquet of flowers in a gradient from burgundy to sun gold to periwinkle stretching into the clouds.
The second piece affixed to a wall known as the Banksy Valentine's Day Mural mimics flowers exploding in a burst pattern upon impact with a wall.
“This project was unbelievably fun and exciting to be part of. It was a challenge applying my floral and wedding installation expertise to an art exhibit like this. I was very pleased with the result of being able to shape it into pieces of my design that represented and were inspired by Banksy.”

We highly recommend checking out Banksyland for yourself in Portland through May 8th and touring 21 cities thereafter. It’s a wonderful educational opportunity and unique experience.
