Papaveraceae

And now my beauties! Something with poison in it, But attractive to the eyes, And soothing to the smell. Poppies, poppies, Poppies will put them to sleep, sleep. Now they’ll sleep. "Papaveraceae” is a dynamic sculpture by Irish artist Emily Aoibheann. “Papaveraceae” is a slow moving ‘unparade’, a sleeping bouquet of beautiful long-haired ladies all afloat with buoyant balloons! The piece was originally commissioned by the St. Patrick’s Day Festival for the Patrick’s Festival Big Day Out event, Dublin, Ireland 2013.
