The Curve in the Line

By Hannah Bold

Hannah says she is like curves; waves, spirals, weaving and twisting like nature. Marvel at a flexible family of colourful shapes created. After premiering at the St Helen’s event on 5 August, this piece will hit the road and feature at all of the Imagine Bamboo events across the city region.

Bamboo Dreams

By Stephen Banning

Inspired by the colours and movement of the Newton Show and the idyllic surrounding landscape which lovingly holds its easily forgotten industrial heritage. Bamboo Dreams explores the interplay of the natural curves of the land and nature and the arches and harsh lines of industry.

Butterfly Wings

By Brian D Hanlon & Stephanie O’Hara

Commissioned for the Knowsley Flower Show and travelling across the city region, the Butterfly Wings follow a parabolic twist, like a wing in movement. They are made from borinda bamboo harvested by hand from Ness Gardens, and bamboo silk.

In Flight
