My new work is a development of the single red rose stem with leaves: I wanted to create a bouquet which would be free-standing, as a table-centre or sideboard sculpture.

I have made this in three sizes – three-stem, five-stem and seven-stem versions. The seven-stem is particularly important because the seventh anniversary is traditionally associated with copper.

This is the five-stem size, more substantial than the simplicity of the three-stem.
