Gallery 379

The following is the entry from the Art In Bloom 2008 Booklet:
"180. Frankfurt Kitchen, Margatete Schütte-Lihotzky
Floral arrangement by Catherine DeVet
This arrangement is to accompany the actual kitchen;
therefore, I was inspired to try and create an actual
woman. I wanted a woman who utilized unpretentious
botanicals: willow, herb, grass, onion. Also, she needed
a "rational organization": her structure of tied and
organized branches and tied flowers. I am hoping
for a sort of Modernist machine-woman along the
lines of a (mannequin) dressform to highlight the
assembly line production used for building new design
objects that raised the quality of everyday life.
