Artist Bio

Braer is an old word for ‘briar’ which is loosely translated to mean ‘a tangle of wild roses’. At Braer we specialise in creative events, installations, & art direction. Braer is composed of a small team of multidisciplinary artists working with the common thread of sustainability; local flowers - being our medium.
At Braer the way we think about flowers and work with flowers is with a deep reverence for the natural world. Flowers and their finite existence is a practice in mindfulness itself. The impermanence and cycles of nature can teach us so much about being human beings, and artists. We are forever finding inspiration in nature. Everything we do is underpinned by a deep appreciation for the world around us and the profound beauty of organic forms.

Reflection

The act of rest in itself is a rebellion against capitalism. Spending time with flowers and plants soothes the soul. The gratitude we feel for nature's gifts is something that continues to grow deeper. Without moments to pause we can’t possibly see the gifts that we receive everyday. Rest and in turn reflection is integral in the process of creating inspired work.
