Part of the Petals & Posies collection, As Fresh as a Daisy celebrates the enduring charm and quiet optimism of one of nature’s most familiar flowers. Inspired by childhood memories of making daisy chains and gathering blooms on long summer days, the piece explores themes of joy, innocence and simple pleasures. The heart-shaped form is composed of countless sculpted daisies, their delicate petals gathering together in a harmonious composition that feels both playful and elegant. Soft aqua tones are paired with luminous gold centres, creating a fresh, uplifting palette that evokes clear skies, sunshine and the carefree spirit of summer.
Created entirely from hand-moulded polymer clay, the artwork reflects an ongoing exploration of texture, repetition and sculptural form. Light moves gently across the raised floral surface throughout the day, revealing subtle variations in shadow, depth and detail. Balancing ornamental richness with contemporary relief sculpture, As Fresh as a Daisy invites slower observation and offers a celebration of beauty, renewal and the restorative qualities of flowers. The title references the old saying "as fresh as a daisy" — a phrase rooted in the flower’s habit of opening with the morning light — and captures the sense of brightness, vitality and gentle happiness embodied within the work.
