Brought to you by the creators of The Enchanted Walk Auckland - Rohan Sauvage of Threadworks Ltd and Lyn-Marie Harris of Dizzie Pixie Designs - the Bloom Effect was a free art installation designed to encourage our community to gently participate and connect in a creative manner.
Community members were invited to express wishes, fears, hopes and dreams using the supplied pencils and beautiful coloured paper which were then exchanged for one of the hundreds of white envelopes located on a large freestanding 3D plywood tree. These white envelopes contained native wildflower seeds along with care instructions and messages of hope and positivity for people to take home, plant and enjoy.
As the tree graduated from monochrome to multicoloured it created the Bloom Effect, visually indicating to participants that they are not alone. On completion of the project the paper was sustainably composted and then used to plant a wildflower garden to further benefit bees, birds and butterflies.
The project was at the following libraries:
Pt Chev Library: 5 - 16 June
Epsom Library: 19 - 30 June
Mt Albert Library: 5 - 15 July
