The first solo exhibition of Sarah Bedford in London, presented in collaboration with Mrs. New York, encompasses a series of new paintings, which are about inspiring hope in a dying natural world through the symbolic representation of floral hybrids. The conceptual “seeds” of Bedford's paintings evolved from her decades-long work as a professional florist. These are exhibited within a large-scale site-specific floral wall painting filling the gallery walls. This is the fifth exhibition in VITRINE’s gallery collaboration programme in the Bermondsey, London, space.
