Functional Sculpture’s collaboration with BESS Paddington is an ongoing dialogue with the store’s architectural features, material history, and evolving floral language. Works include ceramic tiles cast from pressed tin ceiling panels salvaged from the original shop, a series of terracotta vases shaped in response to seasonal arrangements, and the BESS Brick—a recurring vase form developed in response to early brickmaking.
