STEMS: Art Collaboration Between Still Life Flowers & Rebecca Scheinberg.

Stems is a recent collaborative project between Rebecca Scheinberg and Still Life Flowers. Approaching each flower as a unique object, Rebecca and Carla of Still Life Flowers worked to transform the studio into a conservatory, exploring light, form and composition. The vibrant, dusty hues have been arranged into a quiet choreography; the flowers are still but not static.

In their quest to find new approaches to floral arrangement, Rebecca and Carla formed a distinctively feminine approach; delicate and powerful, dirty, greasy and vibrant all at the same time.

Still life photographer Rebecca Scheinberg is known for creating images so technically perfect they almost look computer-generated. Born in Australia, the photographer currently resides in London. Her style is to create graphic, striking imagery that has elements of sensuality, and fragility.

Carla Gottlieb of Still Life Flowers is a floral designer working across weddings, events, installations and shoots. Her designs use flowers that compliment and challenge each other in the most charming ways, arranged with a considered approach, yet dictated largely by the shape and direction of the flowers themselves. Her style has been described as painterly, drawing inspiration from abstract shapes of the disciplined art of Japanese floral arrangement, Ikebana, and, the grouping of colour and flowers as seen of the Dutch Masters.
