Hot Desque: Moonflower

Moonflower is a piece by one half of artist-duo Hot Desque, Neena Percy, as part of their collaborative practice. The piece depicts a night-blooming flower, drawing on their ongoing interest in re-enchanting organic matter. Made from embossed copper and hand-drawn paper collage, the flower sits as a central character on a wobbly grid of an aquamarine and blue-screen-blue background, ready and waiting to be implanted into various narratives.
