Cape Daisy by Julie Grose, 120cm high, 54cm wide, 30cm deep, Stainless Steel, Steel, Metal, Unique, Floral, Nature, Seasons sculpture
Cape Daisy by Julie Grose is a stainless steel and aluminium sculpture, standing 120 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. The piece depicts a single Cape Daisy with a rich purple bloom.
The petals curl tightly at the base and then unfurl toward the tips, creating a flat, open surface at the edges. The centre of the flower is black and dotted with small bumps that represent pollen heads. These details add texture and contrast, drawing attention to the heart of the bloom.
The flower tilts slightly downward, as if bending in a gentle breeze. A slender metal rod supports it, rising smoothly from the base before curving subtly at the top. This support elevates the flower while adding a sense of movement. The petals’ polished surfaces catch the light, emphasizing the vibrant purple tones and the contrast with the textured black centre.
The sculpture balances abstraction with naturalism. While the petals have a stylized curl, the overall shape remains recognisable as a Cape Daisy. The combination of flowing lines, smooth surfaces, and fine details encourages the viewer to explore the piece from multiple angles.
By emphasizing both structure and delicacy, the sculpture transforms a simple flower into a bold visual statement. Its vibrant colours, flowing form, and textured centre create a striking presence. The piece celebrates the elegance and energy of a single bloom, capturing the beauty of nature in a sculptural form that feels both lively and refined.
